Sori Blind Harlequin is a twisted union of comedy and tragedy. A corrupt fusion of the jovial and the macabre. This Imperial Oatmeal Stout aged in XO Cognac barrels is a ballet of dark malts, prestige barrels and craftsmanship. A dance of the sweet and robust. Sit back, take a sip and enjoy the matinée.

Thanks! Sampled draft @ Billie’s Beer Festival 2018. Day 1. Black. Nose is overly alcoholic, boozy,… Harshly alcoholic, varnish, overly roast, way too alcoholic and crude. Thick bodied.

Clear black beer, small creamy beige head, unstable, non adhesive. Aroma: melon peel, smells like B.A. De Molen beers, not a big fan. MF: ok carbon, medium to full body. Taste: nice roast, caramel, sweetish, good, lots of alcohol. Aftertaste: more roast, bitter, malty, grains, lots of chocolate. Decent.
