Big Mama Stout est brassée à partir de 5 sortes de malt d’orge et une partie de malt de seigle en combinaison avec des fleurs de houblon Summit et Willamette. Elle est ensuite infusée à froid avec des houblons américains et du grué de cacao originaire de Madagascar. Notre bière sombre se bonifiera au cours de la première année de garde en développant des arômes délicats de chocolat balancés par une amertume modérée. Nous recommandons de la déguster à température de cave. Accords mets et bières: fèves de cacao enrobées de Laurent Gerbaud.

0.33 l bottle shared with Marko, thanks. Dark brown to black, small persistent tan head. Aged a bit, some cardboard, malts, toasted malts, caramel, nice dark fruit jam, blackberry, plums. Light touch of cocoa underneath. Medium body, moderate carbonation. Dry, nice roasty and toasted malts flavour, slightly burnt, some dark chocolate or cocoa, some bitterness, some tart black fruit again. Alcohol nicely hidden. Light to moderate finish, a bit too fruity, possibly because of the yeast or even sugar.

Bottle shared with Hrabren. A bit aged, really cannot recall whom I got it from. Pitch black, beige head, thick, medium retention. Dry maltiness, a bit oxidized, light coffee, maybe light cocoa. Lean, dry taste, light cocoa and coffee, light carbonation bite and bitterness in the finish. Clean, fairly okay, not knocking me off my feed.

Flesje gedeeld met Tomhendriksen. Diep donkerbruin bier met mooie beige schuimkraag. Aroma van chocolade en hout. Smaak van karamel, drop, salmiak en koffie. Ook een beetje 'n bittere smaak, misschien van de hop maar kan ook van de chocolade komen. In de nasmaak blijft de salmiak even.

Fles gedeelt door Inoven, het is een diep donkerbruin bier met een volle beige schuim. Het heeft een gebrande moutige geur met tonen van rood fruit en chocolade. De smaak is chocolade bitter achtig, koffie, salmiak en toch ook weer iets fruitigs van pruimen.

Bottle from Beergium. Slow gusher. Black, small beige head. Aroma has roast, cocoa, some tobacco and a clear sourish note, kind of fruity, no signs of the dry hopping. Sweetish flavour, slightly roasted with some cocoa/choc, but then again this fruity sourish thing. Really don't think this is supposed to be like this... Some vinous notes in the finish, certainly not like a common impy.

Many thanks for Big Mama to tderoeck. Piwo ma fajny wylad, spora szara piane, bardzo trwala, ciemno brazowa barwe, geste, o palonych i czekoladowych nutach, dosc wyraznie goryczkowe, winne i lekko kwaskowe. Przypominalo portera w londynskim stylu zmiksowanego z owsianym stoutem, malo tu prawdziwego RIS. No ale fajne sporo kakao, czekolady deserowej. Thanks Tim for this.

Flaska från Beergium. Mörkbrun vätska med stort beige skum. Typisk belgiskt stout. Ganska mycket kolsyra, ganska söt och inte lika tät och mörk utan med lite fruktiga estrar, torkad frukt, fudge och här en hel del kaffe som funkar riktigt bra. Bra lite kärv kaffebesk håller ihop smakerna bra.Småtrevlig
