Description
Hugel is the brewing company name of Koen Hugelier. After training in pharmaceutical and biological techniques and medical laboratory technology, Koen Hugelier worked for almost ten years at Ghent University on various scientific studies. In 2009 he became a certified zythologist and in this way got hold of the brewing bug. Because Hugelier could use a lot of knowledge from his training, it was quite easy to delve into the secrets of brewing. After some hobby brewing, Koen Hugelier was ready in 2010 to brew one of his beers in a 'big' brewery.

Bottle from the LCBO in Toronto. Nose is booze, sweet malt and strong chocolate. Taste is notable boozy notes, syrup sweetness with strong chocolate over toasty malts. Lingers with a lingering bitterness on the finish. Decent quad, a little syrupy however.

330ml bottle that pours a dark brown colour with ruby highlights, a mocha-coloured head, decent stay and some foamy lacing spots. Chocolate malt aromas with some banana-wheat notes, alcohol and hints of nuttiness, with the Belgian yeast. Cacao-nuttiness continues into the flavours with some grassy-hoppy dryness in the finish. The Belgian yeast and mild bananas lingers on the tongue. The alcohol is milder in the mouth. An interesting Belgian, Imperial Stout with lots of chocolate notes.

Bottle 33cl. bought November 2021 @home poured into a chalice. Pitch black with faint ruby hue, good dense creamy tan head, good retention, good lacing. Aroma roasted malt,coffee, cocoa, dark fruit, liquorice, faint vanilla notes. Complex layered taste, initially light light heavy sweet followed by some bitterness and a light sourish touch, malt, roast, dark chocolate, dark fruit, cherries, brown sugar, light vinous notes. Full-bodied, oily texture, soft carbonation, sweetbitter aftertaste with growing fruitiness in it, rich and easy to drink, well-balanced, very good.
