Met trots doen we dat samen met de craftbier pioniers van Brouwerij de Molen.
In de afgelopen vijf jaar is er vier keer een bier gebrouwen voor deze actie en in totaal zo’n 400.000 euro opgehaald voor Stichting ALS.
Met dit vijfde bier hopen we het laatste zetje te geven om ALS de wereld uit te krijgen.” - Ferry Wijnhoven

Tap at Bierproeflokaal In De Wildeman, Amsterdam, The Netherlands. Pours black, with fine brown foam. Aroma is of coffee and cocoa, even a little cigar and a hint of toffee. Body is partially dense, with light delicate carbonation. Taste is smoked, fairly bitter. Final is not particularly intense, but still bitter and a little earthy.

(Draught at Arendsnest, Amsterdam, 15 Aug 2025) Black colour with frothy, beige head. Malty, roasted nose with notes of black coffee, peat smoke, spices, oak wood and a touch of brandy. Malty, roasted taste with sweet espresso, soy sauce, smoke, peat, oak wood, vanilla and a balanced roasty bitterness in a warming, slightly boozy, finish. Full body, quite sweet. Rich and powerful, with balanced flavours of wood and smoke. Very nice.

Bottle shared by Joes. Opaque black color, average sized beige head. Aroma and flavor are malts, brandy and bourbon influence is clearly there, way less peat than the original, light green apple peel, malt bitter, bitter. Quite alright.

33cl Fles, dank Harmen! Zwarte kleur, beige-bruine kraag. Turf, vingerverf, gebrande mout, redelijk zoet, dik, chocolade, koffie, meer turf, hint van rozijntjes en bruine suiker, tikje vanille, bitterzoete finish met nog meer turf. Volle body. Ouderwets goed.

0.33 l bottle from 'Beerdome', best before October 2034. Pitch black with a medium large, frothy, almost stable, brown head. Sweetish-malty, gently roasty, quite smoky-medicinal and slightly fruity aroma of dark chocolate, roasted hazelnut, coffee, brandy, dark fruits, peat and iodine. Rather sweet, malty, fairly roasty, rather smoky-medicinal and slightly fruity taste of dark chocolate, coffee, licorice, roasted hazelnut, hints of vanilla, brandy, peat, iodine and some dark fruits, followed by a long, fairly roasty-bitter finish. Full body, smooth and creamy mouthfeel, soft carbonation. Delicious brew, even better than the base beer. Super smooth, thick and saturating. The barrel increases its complexity and mellows the peat a little. Great!

Bottle. Black with nice creamy chocolate head. Peat smoke, chocolate, sweet brandy, vanilla, coffee, toffee, quite earthy, roasted nuts. Solid sweet, medium bitter. Full bodied. Still very peatyz but a bit less than the base beer, and barrel works well. Good stuff! Best beer from De Molen I've had in years.

Fles thuis geprobeerd met LiekevdV. Het is een diep donkerbruin tot zwart bier met een bruinig schuim. Het heeft een aroma asbak. De smaak is gebrande mout, asbak met een hint Bourbon en hout.
