Bottle at home from Beers of Belgium. I've always wanted to try this beer because I like the bottle shape and beer name and I am a shallow individual. A great pour with a deep, dark brown in the glass and a good head. The aroma was all roasted malts and this was taken forward into the flavour. The taste filled my mouth with loveliness and the mouthfeel was caressing. The alcohol was definitely there, but added another layer to the taste and texture. This did not disappoint and I would very happily drink this again and again.

Thuis uit een beugelfles. Bijna zwart, bruin schuim. Heerlijke stout, je proeft het gevaarlijke abv van 9% nauwelijks. Uistekend en dat terwijl vandaag (8 maart 2018) de hagel nog tegen de ramen slaat. Niet te zoet, zelfs klein bittertje.

Murky dark brown with about one finger of mocha head which recedes pretty quickly but still leaves some lacing. Intense aroma shows caramel malts, maybe a hin of soy sauce, slight roasted malts, vinous or liqueur notes, liquorice and hints of dark/dried fruit. Taste reflects the aroma in both notes and good intensity (plus slight spiciness) but brings a tad too much sweetness (especially so if you consider this a stout) and a quite too aggressive/dominant alcohol feeling. Body is medium (actually surprisingly light for the abv) with average carbonation. Possibly this is a bit too thin of a mouthfeel to fully support taste complexity and alcohol strenght. An interesting beer, but not devoid of flaws. Overall much more a belgian strong dark than an imperial stout.

Bottle at Waterhuis aan de Bierkant. Pours cloudy black with a big, frothy, tan head. The aroma contains roasted malt, barley & hops, dark chocolate, coffee, dark fruits and caramel. It tastes medium sweet and light roasted bitter, giving way for a mix of hops and chocolate in the finish. Full body, oily texture, fizzy carbonation. A very good Belgian, rather than Imperial, Stout.
