My Dark Side Won Today from BramBrass

4 months ago

7.8/10 — Appearance 10 Aroma 7.5 Flavor 7.5 Texture 8 Overall 7

Bottle from Hopduvel. Cloudy black, stable, foamy, beige head. Aroma of cognac, wood, fondant (sauce), leather, shoe polish, teriyaki. Taste has sweet fig, prune & pear in a thick dark-chocolatey, pecan-nutty malt body with a hint of umami black olive and early cognac. Soft earthy hops in the finish, lots of cognac present now, next to a woody effect and a touch of coffee. Not necessarily boozy cognac, but very dominant and battling with the malt profile. Full body, thin oily texture, soft carbonation. Another decent addition to Brambrass' BA range, but just slightly less well-structured.

7.8/10 — Appearance 8 Aroma 8 Flavor 7.5 Texture 8 Overall 7.5

Can from Beer Republic. Clear golden, stable, foamy, white head. Aroma of pine resin, olive oil, green olive, toasted onion, dank melon, hashish, grass, biscuit. Taste has sweetish melon, grape & pear in a biscuity malt body, surrounded by dank onion & hashish, even some almost umami-like olive oil. Piney & peppery hops in the finish, bitter grapefruit, onion and warming gin-like alcohol. Medium to full body, oily texture, soft carbonation. Mellow, dank and bitter, very nice.

Ryggia Dark Imperial Stout (Buffalo Trace) from De Hoevebrouwers

4 months ago

7.4/10 — Appearance 8 Aroma 7.5 Flavor 8 Texture 6 Overall 7

Bottle from Stacks. Hazy black, stable, small, foamy, beige head. Aroma of bourbon, liquorice, raisin, pear, mocha, fondant, dried banana, wet wood, vanilla. Taste has sweet pear, dried banana & fig in a dark-chocolatey, dark fudge-like malt body with a whiff of vanilla and some bitter liquorice. Herbal hops in the finish, soft coffee roast, dried fruits, warming bourbon alcohol and more retronasal vanilla. Medium body, oily texture, soft carbonation. The barrel treatment works well here, offering a drinkable Ale despite the considerable ABV, but this is indeed not an RIS.

KellerPiña from Dutch Bargain (Brouwerij Brouwerslokaal)

6.8/10 — Appearance 6 Aroma 7 Flavor 7 Texture 6 Overall 7

Can from Beer Republic.
A: clear golden, small, white head.
A: lots of bell pepper, chili pepper, shallot, apple peel.
T: sweetish pineapple, yellow bell pepper, bitter chili & herbs.
F: peppery hops, chili burn.
P: medium body, watery texture, average carbonation.
Chili is just a bit too intense to really let the style speak for itself, but I appreciate the idea here.
