Going Real Nuts
Brouwerij De Moersleutel

 

A lot of cocoa notes alongside the peanut butter.
There is maltodextrins in this one for sure.
So the mouthfeel is ok but it lacks a certain complexity.
Not their best offering

Pours a pitch-black coloration with a small, creamy, mocha-colored head. Smells of slightly roasted, caramel malt, chocolate and just a hint of peanuts. Taste is dominated by roasted and quite caramelly malt and chocolate fudge, with lighter notes of tobacco, licorice and just a hint of peanuts. Finishes with a medium bitterness and some roasted malt and chocolate fudge lingering in the aftertaste. Full, creamy mouthfeel with a rich body and light/medium carbonation.

While the eponymous peanuts actually don't shine through all that much here, this is still a very nice stout with a rich chocolate fudge note and a pretty even balance of sweet and bitter/roasted notes, as well as quite a full and creamy mouthfeel. Having had a few beers by De Moersleutel now, they don't necessarily excel at IPAs, but offer some really fantastic, rich and well-balanced Imperial Stouts.
