At the end of 2020 we brewed the Melkmeisje, a Pastry Stout that won prizes at the Dutch Beer Challenge 2021. Half of this brew without the additions of chocolate, vanilla and almonds has rested for a year in Plantation Rum barrels. Coffee and chocolate from the malt hopper remain, and aging in barrel has given the beer notes of rum and raisins. It has become a smooth, round and complex beer to enjoy with attention.

Pours a black body and a small brown head that doesn't last very long. Aroma's: from a distance I do smell rum, close up it's more boozy, spiritus almost, with additional roast and umami. Retronasal: too alcoholic, spiritus, overpowering most other aroma's, a bit sweet and fruity. Flavour is above moderate sweet, fruity alcohol, light roasted. Alcohol feel is OK, not too hot or sharp. Medium bodied. Good carbonation. Finishes with dark chocolate, roasty, light bitter. Not great, the base beer was much better.

Very boozy. Spicy alcohol onthe retro nasal. Rather light bodied, but all around okay as the stout is round and has a nice balance of the flavours that are in there. Bierkonig ams
