New strong stout by Oude Maalderij, sampled at Gents Bierfestival. Thin, loose head, quickly vanishing over a very dark bronze beer with ochre-brown edges - but still fully translucent in bright light. Aroma of caramel, toasted walnuts, treacle, cloves, gravy. Sweetish onset, dried fig and candied date notes, softish carb, thick caramelly and nutty malt body with a bitter chocolate edge in the end, relatively mildly roasted bitter, the bitterness accentuated by very outspoken, 'jenever'-like alcohol. Bit yeasty, too yeasty for the style, but for a "Belgian style imperial stout" (I keep maintaining that this has potential to be regarded as a subcategory in its own right), this isn't half bad, though I liked Dominator's Potion better.

Thanks to sharing RB crew. Sampled bottled @ Gents Bierfestival 2018. Dark brown going to black. Nose is plastic grainy & black liquorice. Taste is very BE bit dull with heavy plastic, leaves, black liquorice, bitter,… Same for body,… Too many BE qualities for an RIS perhaps.
