Liquorice imperial Stout... Brewed as our 9 + 1 beer for De Molen's Borefts 2018 under strict recipe guidelines with the exception of one ingredient. Our chosen ingredient is liquorice. A sleek, black dangerous animal with decadent layers of roasted malt and deep dark reverberations of oily liquorice.

Draught @ Pien, Helsinki. Pours pitch black with a tiny head. Aroma of roasty malts, licorice root, salmiakki, dark chocolate and earthy notes. Taste is a total licorice overdose with some roastiness, sticky syrup, salmiakki and dark chocolate. Finish is sweet, sticky and syrupy with loads of licorice, salmiakki and spicy notes. Quite a licorice overdose.

On tap at Borefts Beer Festival. De Molen Brewery, Bodegraven, Netherlands, Friday 21st September 2018. A sunshine and heavy showers sort of day. Pours pitch black with not too much of a head. Wow there is lots and lots of liquorice, a strung out light roasty and bitterness. Good but all about the liquorice. A6 A4 T7 P4 Ov14 3.5

Keg at IMBC 2018, session 2. Pours deep brown with a small, foamy tan head. Long on licorice, with some sweet chocolate, dark berries, light bitterness, light ashy roast. Full bodied with fine carbonation. Lightly warming finish, more cocoa, licorice, dried fruits. Solid.

Keg at IMBC. It pours opaque black with a tiny tan head. The aroma is massive liquorice, umami, leather, ashy, oily, slick, rich roasted malt and slightly medicinal vibe. The taste is intense sweetness upfront, then bitter, ashy, slick, charred, truck loads of liquorice medicinal, warming and dark chocolate. Fulsome body, fine carbonation and oily mouth feel.
