Brouwerij Kees in Middelburg crafted this Imperial Stout with eight months of maturation in cognac barrels. The base beer already delivers richness: chocolate, caramel and coffee form the core. The cognac cask aging adds warmth, vanilla and subtle fruity notes that enhance the dessert-like character.

This is a full-bodied indulgence for those who appreciate strong stouts. The 11.5% ABV brings warming alcohol that integrates well with the layered flavours. A beer to savour slowly, built for contemplation rather than speed.
