Aus der Flasche (bbe 28.08.2027) im 2025-10 getrunken. Bei diesem Stout zeigt das Blaubeerpüree deutlich vor einem Schokoladen Aroma. Von den Maple Sirup und den Pancan ist nichts zu entdecken. Am Gaumen fehlt leider durch eine deutliche Bitterkeit die Harmonie. Schöne Idee aber leider nicht gut umgesetzt.

Optisch goldgelb bis hellbernsteinfarben und klar. Die weiße, feinporige Schaumkrone verhält sich wässerig-flaumig und mäßig gut haltbar. Der Duft gibt hopfenbetonte Noten von reifer Zitrusfrucht, Zitruszesten, Harz und blumigem, hellen Schwarztee wieder. Hellmalzige Noten erscheinen dabei nur leicht im Hintergrund. Der Antrunk kommt frisch, weichrezent, reif zitrusaromatisch bis harzig und süßlich herb. Der Körper mit mäßiger Fülle, feiner Rezenz, leichter, seidiger Textur und zarter Trockenheit schafft ein sehr angenehmes Mundgefühl. Geschmacklich und aromatisch legt sich eine zarte, brotige bis karamellige Malzbasis hin. Darüber wirken die reifen Aromen von Zitrus, Zesten, leichtem Harz und hellem, floralem Schwarztee (Darjeeling, Nepaltee, ...). Ein unglaublich harmonisches, leichtgängiges, frisches Gesamtbild, welches absolut Freude macht und eine unglaublich tolle Drinkability erzeugt. Im Nachtrunk bauen die feine Rezenz gemeinsam mit der zarten Malzbasis zügig ab und die fruchtigen, harzigen und leicht ätherisch-floralen Hopfennoten wirken lange nach. Eine sehr angenehme Hopfenbittere kommt dabei zunehmend auf.

On tap at Dutch Taproom. Pours black with a tan head. Dry toasted malts and a touch of black liquorice on the nose. Flavour has tons of dry coffee and burnt toast. Full-bodied. This is a great, dry imperial stout.

Another beer I feel fortunate to obtain, this one from Smaakhuis. A De Molen quadrupel and barrel aged also, normally a good combination. 33 cl bottle now opened and going inside of a Chimay glass. Mahogany liquid with some amber around the edges and an almost non-existent head but I see a small ring of taupe bubbles and there is a fortunate, consistent carbonation. The nose is a swell start. Ripe dark fruit, some booziness, grain and hard candy. And the drink, well, it is delightful, very full and rich with flavor. Black raisins, figs, baked bread, dark chocolate, roasted malts and plenty effect from the rum barrels. I do not recall a recent quad this fine. Good friend Rene approved and I agree.

Il naso riconosce sentori di caffè e di cioccolato. La finezza olfattiva è gratificante e molto elevata e l'esistenza olfattiva è pregevole. Il manto birroso superiore color marrone castagno è destinato a vita breve. Il colore è scuro impenetrabile. Il corpo è strutturato, complesso e multidimensionale. Il dolce è medio. L'amaro è nella norma. La forza gustativa è molto elevata e la durata è buona, lunga e persistente. Le sensazioni boccali finali risultano di birra beverina e inducono a bevuta compulsiva. Il retrogusto è intenso e persistente. Al palato arrivano note di miele, crosta di panettone, cioccolato fondente, caffè, frutta secca, fiori, agrumi, arancia, mandarino, frutta passita, mandorla fresca, vino Porto, bruciato, liquirizia, vaniglia, trasformando la bocca in uno scrigno di tesori.
