Beer Advent Calendar 2015 - December 16th

Struise - Black Albert
Straight to business.  What a beer!  Truly remarkable, and easily the best imperial stout I have ever had (Sorry Brewdog!)
A Belgian royal stout...whatever one of those is.  An imperial strength (13%) stout, brewed with Belgian ingredients.  It's extreme is all the right places, flawlessly so.

Poured great, just the right amount of activity from the pouring to get a perfect head, which lasted a good while and stayed creamy.
Heavy roasted flavours, strong coffee that still let the hops out.
Very bitter with a long sweetness, it's so smooth you can barely notice the alcohol.



Astonishing.

10/10
