Très belle réussite de la brasserie Uiltje qui a su grâce aux ajouts de genièvre, cranberries, grains de café, sirop d'érable et copeaux de chêne obtenir à la fois un bel équilibre et un cocktail aromatique très appréciable. Ce sont peut-être les baies de genièvre que j'ai le moins ressenti. Si les cranberries ne confèrent pas à proprement parler des arômes fruités, elles acidulent légèrement l'attaque permettant ainsi une petite fraîcheur intéressante avant que l'imperial stout prenne davantage d'ampleur. Et c'est alors que l'ajout de café renforce sa puissance, aidé en cela par ses 14%. Le sirop d'érable permet quant à lui de renforcer la texture et densité mais également la corpulence, et ce sans que la sucrosité ne soit trop poussée. L'alliance est réellement très bien pensée. En verre, c'est du classique pour le genre avec un noir total, sans mousse et une très faible effervescence. Le nez est franc, sur le café, le chocolat et le fut de chêne. Nous retrouvons ce trio avec une présence légèrement acidulée du cranberries permettant de donner un peu de brillance. La seconde bouche prend de l'ampleur et devient plus riche sur une très belle texture. L'alcool s'affirme également légèrement tout en restant très bien intégré. L'arrière est quant à elle davantage sur le café relevé par un peu de piment. Piment que l'in retrouve en troisième bouche avant un final, pas des plus brillants, mais où l'on retrouve douceur et malts. Très belle bière.

Bottle @Luppolo Station (Rome). Nera, densa, impenetrabile, schiuma media color cappuccino. Al naso note di cioccolato, vaniglia, sciroppo d'acero, botte. In bocca è corposa, avvolgente, rotonda, dolce all'attacco con finale amaro a bilanciare. Corpo pieno, carbonazione medio-leggera. Notevole.

2020-01-12, bottle from The Gull, North Vancouver; batch #Y18B015, bb 20/02/2023, probably 2 years old, 7-4-8-4-16=39
Still fairly sweet, but the note of roasted malt seems to get stronger; touch of dark liquorice too.
2019-04-11, bottle from The Gull, North Vancouver, 8-4-8-4-16=40
Black colour. The aroma is nice, dark bread, dark caramel, touch of molasses and chocolate. Sweet, thick, strong chocolate and molasses flavour, with a touch of smoke.
Not very complex, but very good, for sweet Stouts lovers.

Dark brown, no head. Fairly rich chocolate and maple, and on the palate, there's a maple note, lots of chocolate, On the palate, it has a huskiness to the malt, with a soft sweet maple note, again with a touch of chocolate. I think the maple and chocolate go together well, but the malt base isn't great.

330mL bottle, pours black with a small tan head. Aroma brings out lots of soy sauce upfront, with subued maple and a touch of coffee. Flavour is much better than the nose suggests, with lots of maple syrup and coffee upfront, with a touch of oak. The maple syrup isn't totally authentic, but it works. Very nice.

Dark brown, almost black, minimal brown head. Aroma is heavy roasted coffee, maple syrup, praline. Too much coffee for me. Medium bitterness, medium sweetness. Full body, feels heavy. Not my favourite.
