33cl bottle.
Poured pitch black in color, thin head. Barrel shines here, light perfumy almost, orange peel, soaked fruits. Full bodied. Solid.

Bottle shared by Wendigo at BBT 9/2024. Barely medium body, could use more robustness. Light carbonation. Aromatics are intense, lots of coffee, cocoa, also med-high woodiness and medium dark berries and dried fruits. Tasty, clean, just could use more residual sugars. Very nice nevertheless.

BBBT 09/2024. Dark brown color with white head. Aroma of coffee, coffee beans, dark malt, caramel, toffee, wood, madeira. Taste is chocolate, caramel, dark malt, fruity notes, raisins, wood, coconut from barrel. Could be more intense, otherwise this is tasty beer.

Collaboration stout aged in madera barrels, created by Dutch Van Moll and Luxembourgian Totenhopfen, named after a song by a band called Breakwater apparently – thanks to Meeki for sharing at his home tasting in Wondelgem. Medium thick, quickly opening, pale greyish ring of foam on a misty very dark caramel-brown, near blackish robe with mahogany glow. Aroma of hard caramel, toffee, brown bread crust, dried lavender, ‘raw’ cinnamon, clove, nutmeg, dried orange peel, fresh bayleaf, ruby port. Restrainedly sweet onset, some apple peel and dried fig notes, medium carbonated with smooth mouthfeel; caramelly, brown-bread-doughy maltiness, slightly sweet, warmed by obviously madera-like alcohol and enriched with light tannic oakiness, spicy hops sitting underneath and fleshy and spicy effects that can only come from the madera (though less prominent retronasally than orthonasally). Hints of bayleaf, nutmeg and mulled wine persist along with a protein-like aspect. You do not see madera barrel aged beers very often – not often enough perhaps – and this one does it in an idiosyncratic, somewhat weird, but also surprising and interesting way. Quite a distinct beer.

Bottled 330ml (DO) Opaque colour, small beige head. Nose is heavy on alcohol with hints of spices, maybe cinnamon. Medium-bodied. Boozy, sweetish Madeira wine, dark fruits and spices. Quite raw imperial stout which feels even a bit more like a Barley Wine.

Vycap bombovar. Vôňa kavova s čokoládou. Farba čierna s hnedou penou. Chuť kavovo čokoládová. Jemná kremovost na jazyku.

Bottle at home shared with Laura. Opaque black color, beige to mocha colored head. Aroma and flavor are malts, something weird I can't put my finger on, liquor, quite some malt bitterness in the finish. Hmm not bad.
