Hanscraft & Co. Black Nice Imperial Stout

Black Nice from Hanscraft & Co. is also affectionately called Motor Øl. This is due on the one hand to the fantastic, deep black color and on the other hand to the almost oily, wonderfully dense and rich consistency of the Imperial Stout.

Black Nice Motor Øl is brewed with a whopping ten different types of malt and can justifiably be called a true malt bomb. Imperial Stout is a voluminous, powerful beer in its own right, but the brewers at Hanscraft have added one more on top. The result is a highly aromatic black beer with lots of character and a tidy 10.0% alcohol content.

The Imperial Stout from Hanscraft flows into the glass in an opaque raven black and shows its impressive viscosity as soon as it is poured. A fine-pored, hazelnut-brown foam crowns the mahogany-colored beer, exuding a delightfully strong aroma of dark roasted malt. Notes of whiskey-soaked oak, melt-in-your-mouth chocolate and spicy licorice join the roasted malt to make Black Nice an olfactory delight. After this impressive start, the Antrunk does not disappoint: a bed of soft, caramel roasted malt lays down on the palate and tongue, setting the stage for a true flavor explosion. Turkish mocha combines with tart dark chocolate and sweet sour cherries to create an irresistible blend. Dark fruits, fiery whiskey and a hint of vanilla round out the flavor play. The finish is dry and warms from the tongue down to the palate.

Fantastic!
