Bourbon barrel aged imperial stout with coconut and vanilla, from tap at Malz in Leuven. Thin and open, mocha-beige, stable ring for a head on a jet black beer. Aroma of melting dark chocolate, pecan nut pie, toffee, very obvious bourbon, toasted coconut rather than that typical ‘coconut milk’ scent, chestnut purée, latté macchiato, oak wood but actually only very faint vanilla in spite of it having been added as actual vanilla as well, hints of bayleaf, rum, caramel sauce, cognac. Sweet and clean onset, medlar, candied pear, light umami accent (teriyaki), medium carb with full and oily, very smooth and slick mouthfeel. Layers of caramel, chestnut and dark chocolate ensue, maintaining a nutty sweetness throughout but also developing a touch of roasted coffee bitterness, albeit quite subtle; coconut is recognisable retronasally but again in a subtle, toasted way rather than in-your-face ‘Batida de Coco’ aroma, while vanilla remains even more concealed. Some herbal hops, light roasted bitterness and woodiness, followed by indeed clearly bourbon-like alcohol: a classic ending to a classically formulated, 21st-century ‘impy’. Well done.
