Inspired by the Russian Imperial Stout. This jet black beer with roasted malt and a high alcohol percentage (10% vol.alc.) Is, as it were, a more driven version of the Kleveretien… only everything is even more extreme: the roasted flavors, coffee and mocha are even more intense.

In addition to the non-barrel-aged version, we regularly release versions of the Dead Man's Hand that have been matured in oak barrels.

Bottle from Geers. Pours hazy black with a lasting, thin, beige head. Aroma of toast, raisin, prune, star aniseed, milk chocolate, cashew, liquorice. Taste has sweet chocolate & prune with a subtle nutty back; spicy aniseed & liquorice battling with toasty, roasted maltiness. Dry, herbal hoppy finish, more spicy aniseed, toast & raisin, hefty surges of brown rum-like alcohol. Medium to full body, oily texture, soft carbonation. Imperial Stout with well-known Belgian aspects; a bit too spicy & 'crude' maybe, but there's something likeable about it.

31st Jan 2020, International Beer Exchange, Pre-Brugge Bier Festival at De Bierboom. Sample from a bottle. Almost black bodies, tanned topping. Loads of boozy chocolate and coffee in both the aroma and taste, very pleasant all round.

Het Nest Dead Man Hand’s 10% This Russian Imperial Stout has a big umami savory character with lots of toasty malts and sharp dark chocolate notes. Medium bodied and fairly slick verging on velvety. The deep inky color has a thick rusty tan head. The taste is savory, roasty and in the finish even gives some nuttiness. This beer packs in the flavor and has hidden depths, that 10% is also well hidden. ---Rated via Beer Buddy for iPhone

Fles thuis geprobeerd met LiekevdV. Het is een diep donkerbruin bier met een medium bruine schuimkraag. Het heeft een gebrande moutige smaak met hints van koffie.
