This beer is a dream. The taste is perfect between a side of cake, sweet and roasted malt, hop, vanilla. The kind of beer to drink slowly, 14.11.16

Pours hazy orange-gold with a foamy, fizzy white head that lasts. Citrus, peach notes, lots of floral notes, rye almost non-existent.

Can (4/24/25) from Steve. Opaque, inky black, nice viscosity, ephemeral fizzy head, no sparkle or lacing. Aroma is roasted malt, chocolate, cinnamon, vanilla, peppers. Taste is strong roasted malt, habanero pepper, then cinnamon, later vanilla. Smooth, thick texture, strong habanero warmth/heat, full bodied, soft carbonation, mostly warm finish with some vanilla and cocoa. A lot of complexity here but the habanero heat is a bit too dominant. I wish the taste had been more like the aroma.

Reviewed from notes.
Can to tulip.
Appearance: black in the pour and black in the glass with a two finger tan foamy head which dissipated nicely to leave some light lace.
Aroma: milk chocolate, dark chocolate, light coconut, some pineapple; treacle and some coffee roastiness
Flavor: blends the prior noted aromas to a fine sweet to subtle roasty quality; finishes with some milk chocolate, coconut and pineapple
Texture: medium bodied; good sipper; some smoothness to this but also some coffee grinding it's way into the tongue (though, very light)
Overall: a very nicely done pastry impy stout I would welcome again.

Can.
A- Golden orange color, hazy liquid, off white head.
A- Stewed apples, powder sugar, vanilla, vomit.
F- Baked apples, cinnamon, brown sugar, vanilla, pie crust.
T- Light body, average texture, medium carbonation, complex finish.
O- The nose was pretty awful with the aroma of my toddler's vomit. That did let up a little as it warmed but it was a pretty hardcore rotten apple/puke smell. The flavor however was much much more delightful. Started off at first sip a bit one dimensional of mostly cinnamon apple but as it lingered on the palate you got waves of caramel, graham cracker, vanilla, buttery pie crust. Really pretty nice. If the aroma was better this could be very solid.

Quite bitter. Big roasty coffee notes. May the Schwarzbier be with you.

Bottle [2019] shared at "Hooghe Noorden Tasting" 2025, Fryslân. Opaque black color, small white head. Aroma and flavor are malts, sweetish a bit, bourbon sugary lightly, hard to describe in the end. Okay.
