Got this one from the Duvel guy down the road.

From a bottle into a snifter
Imperial stout with port

APPEARANCE: A careful pour come out dark brown and yields a two finger, medium looking, fluffy tan head with very good retention. Clear brown body with very high levels of carbonation evident for the style. Head fades to a thick foam cap with some good staying power. A half foamy wisp remains leaving some lacing down the glass.

SMELL: Roasted and charred malts, dark chocolate, some light tobacco, leather, and oak on the nose. No real port, per se. Medium strength.

TASTE: Roasted notes, charred malts, some leather and dark chocolate at the swallow. Bolder and lingering finish of roasted grain, leather, bitter dark chocolate, some cocoa powder and light oak. Alcohol as well. No real port wine flavors per se, but the other flavors are pretty nice as it is.

PALATE: Medium body with medium carbonation. A touch light on the palate, creamy enough, goes down fine and finishes slightly mouth-coating. Some heat lingers.

OVERALL: This is solid. One of the better imperial stouts from the small Dutch breweries around now, which, admittedly, isn't saying much. There wasn't a lot in terms of the port barrels here, but perhaps that's a good thing, as the base beer was pretty good on its own. Check it out if you're in the area. Cheers!

Pours a coal black color with a smaller, mohagony colored head, slowly collapsing to a thin coating at the edge of the glass.

Smells of campfire, dried plums and milk chocolate among lighter notes of old, booze soaked wood.

Showcases a medium bodied beer with a lighter, soft carbonation, making this a sipper.

Tastes of char, bitter chocolate and balancing, glazed toffee among fresh crushed coffee beans and earth. The beer turns sweeter then with caramel and spicy licorice enriching the flavors. Finishes rather watery with a late, fitting boozy punch featuring matured, fermented cherries, allowing for a short lasting, intriguing interplay with the burned malts in this.

Interesting take on a non-BA imperial stout with a well fitting boozy edge to it.

L: dark brown, barely tan head.
S & T: smoky coffee, somewhat chocolate-y, couldn't detect the port wine at all (which the description said had been added).
F: deceptive in that it doesn't taste alcoholic at all even though it's 9%, goes down smoothly.

O: Solid stout, drinks away easily for its alcohol percentage, but don't expect something especially port-like.
I would recommend it for porter/stout lovers, but I expected more.

donkere body met meekleurend schuimpak geurend naar rook en iets zoutigs
bij het drinken volle warme fenolen en esters stevige mout wals dan licht waterige in de afdronk maar de alcohol brandt fijn na, een lekkere stevige doordrinker

Black colour with a modest but steady head. Smell of malt, wine and coffee. These flavours return in the taste, together with some wood, chocolate and dark fruits. Medium bodied and quite smooth. This is a fine beer, but with an abv of 9.0, i expect more body and intensity in smell and taste. It tends to stay a bit too much on the safe side.
