De Dolle Extra Export Stout

January 29, 2011 by justin · Leave a Comment 

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.

About justin
I’m justin. I am a kind of quirky guy, and a beer drinker. I love beer! I have been planning for awhile to do some type of a beer-a-day thing and after much thought, and research, I am ready. Many people have tried to do the one a day idea before, many have failed. Some have succeeded! I hope to succeed and experience a wide variety of brews. The goal is to drink a different beer everyday for 365 days (or one year). I might drink more than one a day, and I will document that here.
