Brouwerij Kees in Middelburg crafts this full-bodied 8% stout as an indulgent dessert beer, layering hazelnut and chocolate into its dark, creamy foundation. Roasted malt, cocoa and caramel aromas lead the charge, balanced by a restrained bitterness that prevents the sweetness from overwhelming.

On the palate, the beer delivers intense confectionery notes—milk chocolate, fudge and brown sugar dominate, while hazelnut adds nutty undertones without overshadowing the cocoa character. The finish remains roasty and malty, with a smooth, creamy texture that reinforces its dessert-beer positioning.
