Simply one of the world's best imperial stouts, certainly at a modest 8% abv. Musky, slightly sweet and spicy on the nose, it all gives way waves of chocolate and hazelnut on the palate , with a hint of liquorice too. Very lively on the tongue, and finishing with an explosion of bitter espresso.
De Dolle Brouwers translates as "the mad brewers" and that suits people behind De Dolle. They produce daring, delicious beers and have done since 1980, long before the term "craft beer" was coined.
