’t Hofbrouwerijke Hofblues

Bottled at GBBF 2007. A black beer with a brown head. The aroma is sweet malty with notes of chocolate and roasted malt, and so is the flavor, while the mouthfeel is very smooth.

(Bottle 33 cl) Courtesy of Grovlam. Hazy, reddish brown with a dense, beige head. Tart, lightly burned aroma. Medium body with very hard roasted malt accents - actually quite burned - with some malt astringency. A Belgian stout that ain’t stickingly sweet - wauw! 310807
