Got this from the De Moersleutel webshop. Cheers!
From a 44cl can into a snifter
Canned 16 September 2020
Imperial Coffee stout with coffee from Coffee Collective in Denmark
APPEARANCE: Pours out clear black and yields a 2+ finger, medium looking, slightly foamy, light tan head with good retention. Black body with no carbonation evident. Head slowly recedes to a splotchy cap and ring. A splotchy wisp remains until the end leaving touches of lacing down the glass as it empties. Same as the Kieni Edition.
SMELL: Strong coffee on the nose, with vanilla cream, milk chocolate and lactose, roasted malts and espresso on the nose. Coffee forward with an interesting lactose twist.
TASTE: Roasted, burnt espresso up front with some vanilla, cream, lactose flavors, milk chocolate and more roasted bitterness at the swallow. Bold finish is full of roasted, bitter espresso, charred malts, milk chocolate, lactose milk sugars, vanilla cream and plenty of roasted bitterness lingering on the palate. A touch of alcohol as well. Quite roasted and bitter, with plenty of espresso character.
PALATE: Medium body and medium carbonation. A little foamy on the palate, creamy enough though, goes down fine with a bit of a bite at the swallow, finishing a bit mouth-coating. Decent bitterness lingers. Similar to the Kieni version.
OVERALL: Another solid coffee stout from De Moersleutel. The engineering is well-done and the roasted, bitter espresso character very enjoyable. This one has a unique lactose quality to it, and I’m well aware that there’s no lactose sugar in the recipe. Makes this imperial coffee stout unique in its own right. Just as good as the Kieni Edition and well worth checking out if you’re a fan of the style. Cheers!

L- Black, inky black, even a bright halogen torch held to the glass doesn't get a single photon through. Poured with minor foam head but at 10% the viscosity/surface-tension of the beer has no means to hold it. Side-thought, I wonder if this is why there is no concept of a sparkling wine forming/holding a head :)
S- I sense a mild but indistinct sense of bitterness. A few more snorts and yes I get the Colombian ingredient here, sniff-sniff c-o-... nah silly coffee.
T- Oh good grief!! [...It takes me 20 seconds to stop wincing and compose myself]... It's pungent; witheringly so. Super-intense coffee, that steam-rollers just about anything else into submission. That and a prominent liquor-ish ABV% edge. - How on earth do I rate this thing? It's massive, but at this level is it clever?
F- Blunt yet intriguing. It has briefly sweet notes to it but they are instantly bludgeoned by coffee the second you notice them.
O- Do not plan on tasting anything much else for a while after this beast. Maybe drink it accompanying a vindaloo curry, and observe the curry sending up a white flag of complete relative blandness. 'Quite possibly the most pungent beer in the world', taste-wise, almost certainly from the 1400 or so I've had to date. It's a statement beer. It's certainly interesting to try but so blunt is it that I won't be buying more; I am even subconsciously eyeing the glass and honestly wondering if I'll see the bottom of this one. Not because there is anything wrong as such, but just because it's borderline literally OTT!
Bought from TremblingMadness (and no wonder on this stuff!) in York/UK as part of a pick-your-own selection for home delivery to me in London. 440ml lady-boy can £6.70 Canned: 16/09/2020 BB: 06/09/2023 Batch: 223
