Bottled from de Schans, Uithoorn. BB Febr 2012. Very dark brown color, medium, creamy, lasting brown head. Aroma of roasted malt, some chocolat, dark fruit. Quite dry, but also has a touch of sweetness to it. Quite bitter brew (from added bitter chocolat?). Plenty of flavor. Finishes quite dry again. Not perfect, but interesting.

33cL bottle purchased at Bierkoning on my Amsterdam trip and consumed at my hotel room in October, 2011. Serial # 595, best before 6/2/12. Pours with a small but long lasting brown head. Has a completely black body. Its a very dry and bitter imperial stout. The beer has a light body for what I have come to associate with an Imperial Stout. So, this tells you its a less American IS and more close to an English IS. Yet the bitterness seems to come equally from the malts and the hops, so some American influence. Some faint coffee in the aroma. A very easy drinking IS.

Bottled from de Schans. Very dark brown color, medium brown head. Aroma of some roasted barley, dark malts, hint of vanilla. Hint of lactic, and I would think this as a sweet stout actually. Taste is on the sweeter side, with the roastyness more in the background. Pretty smooth and creamy palate. Good stuff actually.

330ml Bottle (Thanks Borresteijn) - Hazy gold/amber with a foamy head. Peach, passion fruit, yeast, mango and papaya feature in the very enticing aroma. Tangy, fruity and hoppy taste with notes of mango, nectarine, pineapple and passion fruit. Really tasty and refreshing.
