This is one of the best (nostaglic) bottle tops ever, was ace to open and the escaping pressure blew that welcoming stout aroma at me. This is Hercule stout, a belgian stout, by Ellezelloise standing at 9%.
Wouldn’t have said that it was THAT distinctive. It is certainly a nice nice stout with a chocolate, hoppy and malty aroma. Good chocolate, thats what the taste mainly reminds me of, while the level of bitterness to sweetness is very well balanced. With a slight dry finish.
Even though I’m not falling head over heels with it, I would never turn down another one.
