Brewery 42 from Vriezenveen crafts IJsbeertje, a very dark Arctic Stout at 9% ABV with a rich, layered character. The aroma brings dried dark fruits, caramel and bourbon notes. On the palate, strong dark malt dominates alongside liquorice, raisins and molasses, with subtle hints of vanilla. The finish is warming and boozy, with a slightly dry aftertaste that complements the full body.

This stout presents a creamy, smooth texture with moderate carbonation. It's a beer for those who embrace robust dark malts and appreciate the warmth of higher alcohol content.
