Description
We are always busy creating taste sensations, always looking for improvements or new flavours and optimizing our beers. Our beer is pronounced, complex, balanced, often full and soft in texture. We don’t brew beer for everyone, we only brew beer for people who love pronounced flavours. We do this by constantly tinkering with our recipes in search of perfection, we want to brew beer that is considered legendary. One has to tell stories about how great the beer of the Moersleutel is. Anyone who drinks our beer must be spoiled for life and must want nothing more.

Batch 0002. My first walnut wine BA, but very nice! Something nutty, lots of dry earthyness. Loads of chocolate. They should remake this!

At Single Trip Tasting. Coffee-infused version of Motorolie, with very dense and creamy, yellowish beige, coffee cream-like, thick, stable head and jet black robe. Aroma of steel pipe-like iron hovering over a deeper, much more flattering wealth of melting 'fondant' chocolate bars, mocha ice cream, espresso, leather, toffee, hazelnut paste, green beans, nutmeg, dried plums, medlar, stewed beef, old vanilla. Sweetish onset, fig, raisin, thin and 'dim' sourish undercurrent, very faint soy sauce-like umami touch, soft carbonation, thick and oily, bit greasy mouthfeel. Deeply nutty and toasty malt body, bittersweet with caramelly edges, but shifting to roasted bitterness embellished by actual espresso powder-like 'coffeeness' which in itself merges with a dash of peppery hop bitterness, whilst the nutty-chocolatey malt core remains dominant; some leathery and nut shell-like touches in a warming, brown rum-like finish, not at all wry or too obtrusive - with that aromatic, quite delicate coffee and 'deep dark' maltiness, with a softening toffeeish side to it, lingering. Very aromatic and well-balanced, refined stout, one of Moersleutel's best works so far for me.
