Berghoeve Hammer Schout Stout
Berghoeve Brouwerij

A: The beer is clear very dark red in color (black when viewed from a distance) and has a moderate amount of carbonation. It poured with a finger high off white head that gradually died down, leaving a large collar around the edge of the glass.
S: Light to moderate aromas of sweetness and dark roasted malts are present in the nose.
T: The taste has flavors of roasted malts along with notes of dark fruits as well as hints of licorice, the latter of which seems to get a bit stronger as the beer warms up. No bitterness is present.
M: It feels medium-bodied on the palate and has a moderate amount of carbonation.
O: This beer was enjoyable but seemed like it could have used more roasted flavors or bitterness to help cut through the sweetness.
