Clear dark brown to black beer, small irregular aery beige head, falls down quickly, a bit adhesive. Aroma: nice, good roast, lots of whisky, caramel, sweet impression, chocolate, vanilla, some ripe banana, a bit yeasty, lots of dried fruits, dark raisins, bread crust, sweet impression. MF: soft carbon, medium to full body, a bit of an alcohol burn. Taste: bitter start, good roast, lots of alcohol, coffee, some banana peel, more roast, coffee, caramel, dark chocolate, quite some vanilla as well. Aftertaste: a little sweet, sourish touch, pretty bitter, some ripe banana, lots of alcohol, good roast, a little malty in the finish.

New ’wintery’ beer by Stroom in Ghent, a strong stout aged in both whisky and rum barrels; launched only recently, this one was already available – canned – at café De Redding in the Brugse Poort quarter in the northwest of Ghent. Moussy, pale yellowish beige, medium thick, opening head on a jet black beer. Aroma of dry old raisins, melting ‘fondant’ chocolate, cappuccino, old oak wood (even oak furniture), whisky indeed while rum remains less noticeable, fig compote, pipe tobacco, caramel. Densely sweet but ‘rounded’ and clean onset, raisins (or ‘boerenjongens’) again, candied dates, soft carb with full, oily mouthfeel; bittersweet black-chocolatey, dry-caramelly and pecan-nutty core with toasty edges but clearly more sweetness than bitterness, even hints of candied cherries, dark brown honey and latté. Lightly drying tannins with clear ‘oakiness’ retronasally, along with a peppery hop kick and warming, eventually somewhat tiresome and astringent alcohol, again much more whisky-like than rum-like. Bitter chocolate and roasted bitter coffee elements linger, but the sweetness always remains a tad stronger than the bitterness – clearly an American style ‘impy’ was intended here, a mission well executed, even if still a bit crude and boozy perhaps. Probably improves with more age on it so stack a few of these cans away in a cellar and see what becomes of them in a year or so. For now: indulgent, sweet, boozy stout, solid enough and fit for this gloomy time of the year.

Can from Dranken Geers, Oostakker. Color: Almost black, brown head. Aroma: Roasted malt, accompanied by boozy Rum and Whiskey notes. Taste: Mix of roasted malt, malty (barley and wheat), umami, candy sugar, liquorice, subtle dark chocolate and black coffee, almonds, sweetish Rum and subtle Whiskey / Bourbon. Quite boozy finish, warming mouthfeel. Over medium body, below average carbonation. Medium sweet, moderate bitterness. A bit thin, more like a BA Barley Wine - Imperial Stout - Weizenbock blend, not your average Imperial Stout (+1 for that). Pretty nice and well balanced overall. Nice one.
