Black Damnation I - Black Berry Albert
De Struise Brouwers

A 330ml bottle, bottled on 9th November 2022, with a best before date of +5 years, poured into a snifter glass.

Appearance: Black in colour with a thin beige head that had pretty good retention and dissipated to a ring around the glass while leaving small spotty lacing.

Aroma: Light roasty, chocolate, sweet berries, blackberries, woody, nutty, with light caramel notes.

Taste: Sweet malty, light roast, berry sweetness, blackberries, blueberries, chocolate, coffee, boozy, a touch nutty, and some bitter notes.

Mouthfeel: Medium bodied with soft carbonation.

Overall: A very enjoyable sipper with restrained sweetness, and balanced aromas and flavours.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Big roasted malts, dark chocolate, molasses, dark fruit, caramel, dark sugar and a tiny little tang. smooth and well balanced like most of the Struise stouts...incl the adjunct ones.

 

Subtle berry flavor really adds an interesting dimension to what is already a phenomenal base beer. My favorite among Black Mes, Mocha Bomb, and Nuptiale.
