A quick trip to a local liquor store gave me an opportunity to pick up some interesting micro brews to sample.
De Molen Hel & Verdoemenis (Hell and Dammnation)
This first beer comes all the way from Bodegraven Netherlands, and is brewed by Brouwerij de Molen. A beer deserving of a snifter (or in this case a Glencairn), it is dark and foreboding with a thin brown-gold head and a thick viscosity. This beer is best served at 10C/50F or slightly chilled if you do no keep a thermometer in your wallet. The aroma rising from the glass is of roasted coffee and malted barley moving to coffee at the end. The flavor.....this company has made a customer for life! Roasted malt, cold brew coffee and chocolate coat the palate before giving way to a pleasant bittersweet finish that takes a moment to recover before your next sip. At 10% ABV this Imperial Stout punches above its weight class, so be sure to grab an extra glass to share.
