De Pikjongen from Bierbrouwerij De Magistraat is a pitch-black imperial stout at 11.5% ABV. Brewed in Almkerk with deeply roasted and charred malts that create its dark colour, this beer gains complexity from smoked jalapeños, which add a subtle pepper character. The aroma features chocolate, coffee and dark fruit notes. On the palate, caramel malt blends with toasted grain, citrus hints and dried fruit. The body is full and creamy, with warming alcohol that matches the beer's strength. The finish is bitter and dry, leaving a lingering aftertaste that rewards contemplation.
