Jopen Zware Jongen is an Imperial Stout from Haarlem's Brouwerij Jopen, brewed with conviction and depth. At 10.8% ABV, this strong beer has matured for 640 days in Bowmore and Jack Daniel's casks, developing layers of oak, vanilla and warming alcohol.

Jet black in colour with a thick, creamy head, it reveals roasted barley, fresh coffee and caramel on the nose, layered with subtle oak from barrel aging. The palate is rich and sweet, with dark chocolate, toffee and bourbon character leading into a long, warming finish.

This is a beer for slow appreciation—complex enough to reward attention, strong enough to demand respect. The full body and 10.8% strength make it a contemplative pour.
