Aus der Flasche (bbe 28.10.2034) im 2025-07 getrunken. In dieser Version zeigt sich viel getorftes Getreide wie man es bei Laphroaig in der Destille auf die Hand bekommt nur flüssiig mit dunkler Schokolade. Leider wird es sehr bitter. Wo es in der Nase spannend ist und an ein Besuch in der Laphroaig Destille erinnert, so macht am Gaumen leider kaum noch Spaß wo die Bitterkeit mir zu kräftig ist. Schade!

Bottle at home shared by Joes. Jet black color, medium sized light brown colored head. Aroma is (Dutch) "een bak turf!", huge peat, finger paint I used as a kid. Flavor is similar: huge firm peat, peated bitterness, band aid, iodine. Way more than I remember this beer to have. Also, we tried a 2017 old Hemel & Aarde alongside this one and that was way softer and way more balanced, with way less peat. I liked the original better, much better.

Fles thuis geprobeerd met Roelzie. Het is een pikzwart bier met een volle bruine schuimkraag. Het heeft een aroma van rook, turf en een hint ham. De smaak is asbak en drop.

0.33 l bottle from 'Beerdome', best before October 2034. Pitch black with a medium large, frothy, stable, brown head. Sweetish-malty, fairly smoky-medicinal, gently roasty aroma of peat, iodine, dark chocolate, licorice and some coffee. Rather sweet, malty, fairly roasty, heavily smoky-medicinal taste of dark chocolate, licorice, hard roasted coffee, roasted hazelnut, peat and iodine, followed by a long, fairly roasty-bitter finish. Almost full-bodied, smooth and creamy mouthfeel, soft carbonation. Delicious brew, heavy, intense and saturating.

Bottle. Black with huge brown head. Massibe peat smoke up front. Dark chocolate, raw cocoa, more smoke, earthy, blackberries, marzipan, toffee, tar, pudding. Solid sweet and bitter. Thick full body. Like licking an ooooold peated whisky Barral and quickly taking a sip of sweet RIS. Very extreme, but classic De Molen style. I'm into it.
Fantastic deep and rich, heavily peated, deep malty with a thick and slightly sourish finish. Machine oil, deep roasted peated, rich, viscous, fantastic.
