About this release

Bourbon- and rum-barrel-aged imperial stout from Dutch brewery Van Moll from Eindhoven. Deep, syrupy and complex with notes of vanilla, coconut, mocha and warm oak aromas. The blend of bourbon and rum barrels creates a layered sweetness and powerful spirit warmth. This imposing imperial stout with an alcohol content of 13.5% is a true masterpiece for lovers of aged stouts. Unknown Pleasures reveals itself as a full, complex beer experience in which the individual characteristics of the bourbon and rum barrels are perfectly attuned to each other. The rich vanilla and coconut notes give the beer an almost dessert-like quality, while the mocha and oak aromas provide depth and balance. The combination of these two barrels creates a unique flavor profile where sweet notes from the rum seamlessly transition into the warm, somewhat rougher characteristics of bourbon. With an alcohol content of 13.5%, this stout feels pleasantly warm and full-bodied on the tongue, which is the perfect conclusion after dinner or as a solitary moment of enjoyment. This beer is clearly intended for evening consumption, where slow sipping is recommended to fully appreciate all the nuances.
