De Dolle Extra Export Stout

It is finished! This is my final night of the project!!! I will report in the coming days my observations, top-ten lists and more but tonight is dedicated to the De Dolle Extra Export Stout. I spent all day resting, trying to get better and tonight I am feeling good. Not well enough to go to the Forge where this all began with the Hooker Nor’Easter but, well enough to really enjoy a nice stout. I feel like the ending tonight is a bit anti-climatic. Just another night drinking another good beer.
This stout pours beautifully with a big tan head. The flavour is complex with dates, and other “old world” fruits taking center stage. There is a strong malt flavour and some chocolate for good measure. The alcohol is a bit too up-front for my taste but overall it is a smooth tasty stout. Very nice
This has been an amazing year. I will continue to post my beer musings here but on a less regular basis so please check back every once and a while. I am also planning on a new year-long adventure which I will announce here.
