Bospolder Brouwerij Helemaal Stout 2.0
This Imperial Stout presents an opulent sensory journey, defined by its massive 11% ABV and specialized ingredients. The inclusion of Dutch-grown vanilla, extracted via a vodka soak, provides a profound aromatic depth of rich bean and cream. This layers over a complex foundation of bittersweet chocolate, espresso, and charred grain. The addition of extra oatmeal elevates the texture to a decadent, velvety fullness, smoothing the aggressive roast and firm bitterness typical of the style. Subtle esters of dried plum and raisin emerge as the glass warms, concluding in a long, warming finish where spirit-soaked vanilla and dark malt linger harmoniously.
Appearance. Jet black and opaque with a thick, long-lasting deep tan head that leaves dense lacing. High viscosity is apparent through prominent legs on the glass.
Aroma. High intensity; a rich bouquet of dark chocolate, French roast coffee, and intense, creamy vanilla. Undertones of black cherry, raisin, and a clean, spirit-like alcohol presence from the vanilla extraction.
Taste. Initial impact of bittersweet cocoa and roasted malt, immediately followed by a lush, sweet vanilla mid-palate. Moderate-high bitterness provides essential balance against the heavy malt backbone. Notes of molasses, toasted bread, and dark fruit persist into a complex, warming finish with a lingering roast and vanilla aftertaste.
Mouthfeel. Full to very full-bodied with a chewy, luscious, and exceptionally creamy texture derived from the oatmeal. Carbonation is low to moderate. Noticeable but smooth alcohol warmth provides a comforting glow without being harsh.
