Imperial stout created for the 20th anniversary of Arendsnest, one of Holland's pioneering modern beer pubs and a must visit for me each time I am in Amsterdam - unsurprisingly brewed for Morebeer, the client brewery owned by the very founder of Arendsnest. Sample at Gents Bierfestival. Pale grey-beige, moussy ring for a head with some greyish flat veils in the middle; black robe with misty burgundy edges. Aroma of chocolate sauce, brown rum, toffee, fig compote, hazelnut paste, candied dates, golden raisins, walnut liqueur, mocha ice cream. Sweet, dense onset, blackberry coulis and candied date effects, softish carb, oily body, bit syrupy but not as thick as one might expect at this strength. Lovely milk-chocolatey, toffeeish malts, maple syrup touch at the edges, sweet madera somewhere, but remaining very low in roasted bitterness - ending with warming rum-like alcohol but little hops. Clearly based on contemporary American style imperial stout, chocolatey, sweet and boozy, but I always miss a bit of roasty and / or hoppy bitterness in this kind of brews, even if I certainly enjoyed it - and may even repeat it next time I make it to Amsterdam.

Pretty neutral. Not much to it, lacking much spelt or anything exciting. Maybe the touch of smoke on a blonde beer makes it worth trying again. Tasting at craft & draft Amsterdam (3.4 july 2021) Again from bierkonig. 3.3

Canned, 330 ml courtesy of and shared with Ambasada guys. Hazy orange, small white head. Malty, caramel, sweet, old hops all around, ripe fruit. Moderate carbonation. Medium bodied. This has seen better days, although it's not that old. Should re-rate.

A very nicely restrained and balanced pastry stout. Bitterness is offset perfectly by the sweetness. Just enough boozy strength to make it feel like a big stout. Beer loves food Amsterdam

This one might be yeasty from keg bottoms. But it’s okay. Cloudy. A bit muddy. Should be tried again. Beer loves food amsterdam

A bit thin for the style. Light in color too. Tastes that are there are mostly good, the abv gives a little but of a fusel feel though. Beer Temple Amsterdam
