An interesting IPA, coming from Heinrich 3000, resinous, citrus, solid bitterness staying a long at your mouth, a bit watery, 04.12.18, drinking it at Munich, in our rented flat.
gave a cheers!

12 oz bottle from Firestone Brewery Store. Nose is chocolate, cinnamon, and vanilla mixed with a hint of bourbon. Black with a big cinnamon tan head. Flavor is moderately sweet and I agree almost like a S’more.

Bottle: Poured a orange copper with a white ring head. Aroma is boosty, perfumed, hops. Taste is alcohol, burns, almost hoppy.

Draught @ Dive96, Manhattan NYC. Inky black with a small foamy tan head, sweetish mocha aroma, low carbonation, mildly sweet lightly woodsy mocha taste, alcohol undertones, smooth body, long smooth sweetish mocha finish. Very smooth and tasteful.

Odd thing about this bottle is that it's 2024 and I know I didn't buy it that year. At least several years before from Craft Beer Kings. Very difficult to deal with them now. Aromas are dark malt, molasses, roast, cinnamon. Flavors are similar to nose and slightly sweeter than bitter or carbonation. Very easy sipping beer. Good Imperial Stout.

35cl Blik van Beer Republic. Wel al van 2024 zie ik. Jet hee vers dus. Mistig diepgele kleur, witte kraag. Scherpe geur, jeneverbes, harsig, ananas, perzik, sinaasappel, vrij zoet maar vooral op een aangenaam fruitige manier, Medium bodied. Best lekker eigenlijk.

Pours a hazy orange-pineapple with mid-sized head. Aroma is citrus and tropical fruit, with a somewhat unpleasant astringent note. Flavors follow, with quite a bit of bread and biscuit. Soft mouthfeel. Moderate hop bitterness in the finish.

Bottle shared with Johnny. Opaque dark brown color, red hue coming through, small off-white head. Aroma is malts, barrel influence clearly there, bourbon I guess? Flavor is malts, bourbon, vanilla, light raisins, sticky brown malts. A little bit thinner than I had expected, maybe cause it's got a couple of years on it, but it's still pretty amazingly good.

Bottle, enormous thanks F&L, Mangled Ham tasting. Blackish body, no notable head. Some orange liqueur, some minerally notes, raisins, dried fruit in general, cocoa, light vanilla. Hooh, this is fun. Medium, sweet body, layers of caramel, dried fruit, light vanilla and pierced by a solid roasty kick, while the alcohol warmth is constant, if never overwhelming. Bit nutty, bitter towards the finish, wood, vague orange notes, biscuity. Can't say I was completely enchanted, but this is one very good beer!

Bottle that I picked up from Beyond Beer or Beer Republic? Consumed in the company of Ursula and Marko Saturday 19th July 2025 at the Mangled Ham tasting. Haven't looked at my standard review but this is just a quick run through of this 2024 edition. It's a huge stout, uncompromising, lots of treacle, bitter, roasty, really in yer face bourbon all over this but it doesn't overstay its welcome. Really nice softness, super boozy, a lovely huge stout.
