De Molen Borefts Stout

Brewed by Brouwerij de Molen
Style: Stout
Bodegraven, Netherlands

Bottled. Ahazy brown beer with an ornage head. The aroma is sweet and quite herbal. The flavor is sweet malty with light notes of caramel, flowers, and spices. Nice, but not roasted enough in my opinion to be a stout, but the drinability is high.

(Bottle 75 cl) Courtesy of fonefan. Hazy reddish brown with a tall and lively beige head. Burned malt aroma with some vanilla. Medium-bodied with sweetish, hard roasted malts, ashes and vanilla accents. Soft mouthfeel and a discreet bitterness. 190608

Bottle, 7.7%, Fruity aroma, a little sour rag. Almost black colour, with a dark brown shine. Big and quite stable grey/brown head. The flavour is roasted with some liquorice and some of the cardboard I often get in hombrewed and microbrewed stouts. Unpleasant cardboard and yeast notes. Late roast malt bitterness, quite peppery and rough. There is also some sourness in here that is fortunately hidden by other flavours. Thick mouthfeel. Flavourful, but not really my cup of stout.

Bottled (from Cracked Kettle). Very deep ambery brown colour, close to black, with huge brown foamy head. Aroma is coffee, toffee, some roasted malts, licorice, ashes and tobaccoa. Flavour is tobacco, liquorice, some ashes, mild alcohol and nuts. Very smooth, and gets a bit vanillaish when getting warm. 4.1 sounds a bit high as a rating, but I really can’t find any element I would lower from this... So probably it deserves it.

Bottle. Cloudy orange red coloured with a medium sized beige head. Roasted aroma of caramel with notes of liquorice. Roasted flavour of caramel, liquorice and hops. Roasted finish.

Hazy brown with large beige head. Sweet aroma with roasted malt, chocolate and coffee notes. Sweet flavor with roasted malt, caramel, chocolate and coffee notes.
