Style: Belgian Imperial Stout
De Dolle Brouwers, Esen, Belgium
Stout is one of the oldest styles of beer, but is still very popular in English speaking countries. Even though stout isn't a traditional Belgian beer style De Dolle Brewers have created a "Belgianized" version of it for B.United.The stout is brewed only a couple of times each year, with roasted malt, caramel malt and pale malt, Nugget hops and the same fermentation as Oerbier.
The combination of all that is a bitter, tart beer, with character. Unlike modern more typical stout, this beer has high alcohol, tart flavors, and a big, dry body. It has a dark, almost black chocolate color. The nose is musky, slightly sweet and spicy. Flavors of chocolate , coffee and some hazelnut notes on the palate intermingle with notes of licorice. The enhanced, Belgian beer style gives it a high carbonation level that's very lively. It finishes with a dry explosion of black espresso flavors.
