Brouwerij Tamesteut's barrel-aged imperial stout from Hoorn presents layers of roasted character and depth. Dark, almost jet-black, it opens with pronounced coffee and cocoa, followed by caramel and notes of dried fruit. The Ardmore cask finish introduces woody and smoky undertones that complement the intense malt foundation.

Full-bodied with a persistent brown head, this is an assertive beer that rewards patient tasting. Its roasted backbone carries through to a warming finish. Recognised as best beer of Noord-Holland in 2019, it demonstrates the brewery's commitment to bold, well-crafted stouts.
