Blik van Bierwinkel Hop voor een schamele €8,-. Zwarte kleur en bruin schuim dat snel inzakt met een randje retentie. Geur is stevig in de vanille, zoet, melkchocola, geroosterd, en in de verte nog wat koffie. Die koffie is iets herkenbaarder als het in de mond is, maar het zoete overheerst, het lijkt zelfs wel wat op amandelspijs of marsepein. Smaak is behoorlijk zoet, maar zodra het wat verder over de tong rolt komt er ook wat geroosterd bij en zelf een licht bittertje. Sterk, maar voelt zeker niet als 14,03%. Redelijk volle body. Lichte bitterheid in de finish. Lekker dessert bier, maar een heel blik in je eentje is wel wat veel.

0.473 l can from 'Beer Republic', canned in March 2024. Black with a thin, slightly fluffy, quickly collapsing, beige head. Intensely sweetish-malty, quite roasty, a little fruity aroma of dark chocolate, mocha, vanilla, some bourbon and a touch of dark fruits. Fairly sweet, malty, rather roasty-bitter, minimally fruity taste of dark chocolate, mocha, licorice, vanilla, bourbon and light dark fruits, followed by a long, heavily roasty-bitter, gently boozy finish. Medium to full body, gently effervescent mouthfeel, soft carbonation. Heavy and rough beer, super intense, quite tasty and enjoyable nevertheless.

Can, kindly shared by ChrisOfstad. Although a bit sweet, it's really nice, lovely coffee aroma and flavor. Gentle, pleasant boozyness. 747416 250509
