Struise Black Albert

From Struise -This Belgian Royal Stout was brewed as a tribute to one of America’s best pubs. Jennifer and Chris Lively who run the place may be proud of Ebenezer’s Pub.

De Struise Brouwers – Black Albert – 11.25 oz. bottle poured into a goblet. 13% abv. From Online Trade

Appearance: Pours a viscous dark brown with a thin creamy beige cap. Leaves a web of lace behind.

Aroma: Maple sugar, brown sugar, herbal minty notes and light roast.

Taste: Burnt roast, burnt sugar, cherry, big booze and a slight hint of wood.

Mouthfeel: Thick and modestly carbonated.

Overall: Complex, a bit too sweet for me, reminded me of Bell’s 9,000.  For me, this would be suited as a super slow sipper or something paired with dessert.
