Brouwerij Hoop from Zaandijk crafts this Imperial Stout inspired by their sister brewery Hope Brewery in Dublin. The Imperial Stroopwafel Stout marries the boldness of an Imperial Stout with stroopwafel character, a nod to Zaandam's culinary tradition.

The aroma reveals caramel and stroopwafel notes layered with roasted malt depth. On the palate, the beer is intense and spiced, with roasted malts delivering complexity and structure. The mouthfeel is warming and full-bodied at 9.5% ABV, finishing with lingering stroopwafel sweetness balanced by assertive bitterness.
