Can day 19 beer of my Mr Hop advent beer calender, direct from Mr Hop webshop Venray Netherlands. Consumed Wednesday 24th December 2025, Christmas Eve. We're had Nidi di Tagliatelle al forno (baked pasta nests) listening to Anna B Savage on Tidal. A solid imperial stout, very much ticking all the boxes, pours pitch black, little or no head. Yep taste is a text book imperial stout a sort of do it by numbers Impy', roasty, chocolate, smooth, a little caramel, fudge and hints of coffee and vanilla on the nose, a little background woodiness. This never strays far from the textbook version and whilst this niggles me a little as I would like to see a little more individuality and something that lifts this from the mainstream, I guess that is also confirmation they can brew to style perfectly. Good beer just a tad too safe. Score 6.9

Almost opaque brown colour, tiny brownish head. Sweetish maple syrup, toasted aroma. Medium-bodied. Toasted malts, some alcohol, syrup, vanilla, coffeish notes and alcohol in the flavour. Pastry stout but actually not overly sweet. Ok.

330ml can via Beer52. Fifth beer in a random tasting session with myself on 10th December 2025. Poured into my Gordon thistle shaped glass it looked fine, black bodied with a full beige crust on top. Chocolate nose and initial taste, coffee flavours coming through alongside a little later.

Aus der Flasche (bbe 31.12.2030) im 2025-12 getrunken. Dieses dunkle Malzmonster mit deutlichen süßen Getreide-Aroma wird durch Trockenobst-Aroma abgerundet. Leider wirkt es etwas leblos am Gaumen sowie die Schaumkrone nach dem Einschenken schnell verschwunden ist. Der hohe Alkoholgehalt ist gut eingebunden. Immer noch ein schönes Ale für den Winter!

On tap at Dutch Taproom. Pours pours clear gold with a beige head. Dry caramel and bread crusts on the nose. Flavour has dry caramel, light sugars, some bread crusts. Not bad, but I wish the malts were a bit more there.

Отличный запах. На вкус тоже крем брюле. И это очень приятно, хотя более глубины во вкусе нету.
