0.33 l bottle from 'Het Biermoment', best before September 2023. Clear, deep orangeish amber with a medium large, frothy, slowly diminishing, white head. Sweetish, intensely fruity aroma of mango, orange jam and some pine. Gently sweet, moderately bitter, rathera and a bit resiny fruity taste of orange jam, mango, grapefruit and some pine, followed by a medium long, rather bitter finish. Medium to full body, smooth and gently effervescent mouthfeel, soft carbonation. Classic DIPA, nicely fruity and bitter, reasonable farewell beer.

Bottle shared by Joes at tasting. Black color, small brown head. Aroma is malts, soy sauce. Flavor is malts, soy sauce again, green apples a bit, whisky / liquor of some kind, boozy a bit. Overall though, not too bad. I don't dislike it.

Bottle shared by Joes at tasting. Black color, average to medium sized tan / mocha head. Aroma is "koetjesreep". Odd. Flavor is koetjesreep with honey ish liquorice. Meh meh meh. Disappointing.

Nice dry imperial stout. Bigish but light bodied. Drinkable. Simple. Easy. Gollem amstelstraat

0.33 l bottle from 'Het Biermoment', best before April 2025. Black with only a few beige bubbles on top of it. Sweetish-malty, quite roasty, slightly fruity aroma of dark chocolate, coffee, hazelnut, green apple and whisky. Quite sweet, malty, rather roasty, slightly fruity and a little smoky-medicinal taste of dark chocolate, coffee, licorice, peat, whisky, green apple and even some solvent, followed by a medium long, rather roasty-bitter, slightly boozy finish. Medium to full body, watery mouthfeel, flat. Something definitely went wrong here, there's no head or carbonation whatsoever and the green apple flavour is quite prominent. It's far off the other two great variants of this birthday series, unfortunately this is one of their last beers ever with apparently only one more Stout to make up for it. Disappointing.

0.33 l bottle from 'Het Biermoment', best before May 2024. Hazy, orangeish amber with a medium large, frothy, almost stable, white head. Sweetish, quite fruity, slightly resiny aroma of orange jam, mango and some pine with a touch of honey. Quite sweet, gently fruity, moderately resiny taste of orange jam, honey, pine and some mango, followed by a medium long, moderately bitter, slightly peppery finish. Medium to full body, smooth and slightly creamy mouthfeel, soft carbonation. Way less fresh than the base beer I tried just a few days ago, much more honey noticeable. At least more balanced than many other beers with peppers, still nothing I'm really looking for. Base beer was good, this variant is just so-so, not only because of the peppers. Don't get the lemongrass by the way.

Medium to full body, smooth and slightly effervescent mouthfeel, soft carbonation. Tasty DIPA, nicely classic, clean and well-balanced.
