Sweet roasted choco malts, roasted hazelnut, blueberries, charcoal, vanillabean. Quite sweet & mod. bitter. Over medium body, fine carb, velvet feel. The first rich sip melts quickly into a more watery experience, a hint of mushroom/truffle in the finish. | [2019-08-05 00:27:15] - Locatie: Le Domaine du Pouldroit - Score: 4 - Comment: Heimwee momentje | [2022-02-12 02:53:27] - Locatie: SjogroWorld™ - Comment: Hobby avond.

Bottle at home. Black with tan head. Sweet roasted chocolate malts, roasted hazlenut, blueberries, charcoal, vanillabean. Quite sweet and moderate bitter. Over medium body and fine carbonation. Velvety feel. The richness of the first sip melts quite quickly into a more watery experience, in the finish theres also a hint of mushroom or truffle.

Bottle. Black pour, creamy brown head. Aroma of creamy chocolate, coffee, licorice and mocha. Taste has bitter cacao, coffee, licorice, tarr, booze and a bitter creamy finish. Solid example of the style.

Imperial stout from this northern Dutch brewery, 375 ml bottle shared at RBBWG. Pale greyish beige, thick and frothy, very creamy, closed, dense head over a jet black beer. Aroma of wet leather, walnuts, bitter chocolate, teriyaki, charred wood, cigar ashes, whisky, bayleaf soaked in a beef stew, varnish, black olive, gravy, dried dates. Sweet and umami onset, soy sauce flavors mixed with hints of fig, raisin and dried banana, sourish roasted barley underneath, oily mouthfeel but not as viscous and thick as I expect from any beer labelled ’imperial’ stout; very nutty malt core, toasted and eventually ashy and very roasted bitter, bitter black coffee, dry, oily finish with peppery hops, warming rum-like alcohol and some still lingering umami. Lots of umami, lots of roasted bitterness, interesting and enjoyable but lacking a bit in body and ’viscosity’ for the style.

Sampled at the RBBWG 2017. Thnx for sharing, everyone ! Pours black, no real head. Smell is very burnt malts, bit cocoa. Taste is rather bitter. very intensde. Roasted . OK

Thank you Alengrin! 375 ml. bottle sampled @ RBBWG VI (2017). BBF 11/18. Batch #16. Black, little tanned head. Nose is bitter chocolate, cheap coffee, low umami, herbal. Taste is okay chocolate, bit thin, very basic roast, chocolate, herbal, roast, umami, roots. Body is a bit thin. Bit thin, very basic bitterness, lacking some body, sweetness & complexity. Below average for the style, okay beer. Certainly expected more given the hype that this brewery is getting.

No head, slick, dead-looking brown-black beer. Sweetish-roasted, rusty metallic nose, bit meaty and even mineral. Sweet-roasted, again metallic-rusty touches. Mineral; warming up, chocolate. Very oily-slick (apt), viscous. Rather low carbonation,alcoholheat. Rich, good stout. Alcohol is there but does not quite give the "real Imperial" feel.
