It's been a while I drink this beer (I think three years ago), but for me it's a very good one. I'm not even thinking of a stout but more of a dark quadrupel. Van Steenberge has a very good range of beers.
I've had the pleasure of having several long weekends in Belgium and I've yet to find a bad beer. This is a fantastic beer. Glad to see it on the channel. Cheers!
I am going to try this. From your description and the comments I think I will like it more than a "traditional" imperial stout which I often find too "stouty".
I love Quad/Imperial stout hybrids. My local - 3 blocks from where I live - produced a beer they call a Quad, but is a hybrid, and is delicious as heck. I hope they still have some on tap when I can get there on Wednesday. 10.3% ABV.
Agree with you there Si. I had one a few months back. A good beer, but definitely not a stout as we would normally know it. I was sort of disappointed, as I was looking forward to a cracking stout!
Had this Stout for the first time last week and I was less than impressed. I thought it was weak sauce, didn’t have a full mouth feel, not as rich or full bodied and at 12%abv it seemed a waste. This is a mediocre Imperial Stout which I would happily swap for “London Fullers Black Cab” or “Guinness Special Export” any day of the week.
Love this beer. Its like a belgian quad/stout hybrid. Can find it in most Belgian supermarkets and a few dutch ones. Less than 2 euros a bottle 😮
great beer i love it

Their beers are sublime. Genuinely love them. Not had this though and whether its a stoit or not i couldnt care less lol, i need it.
1906 black coupage . You should try thT one next . It's classed as a dark lager in Spain but I would say it's a porter
One of my favorite!
What is your favourite stout, or could you recommend some please
I like it ... with reservations.
Great beer. 1 of my top 5 easily.
It's a six beer box at Lidl, never been ten bottles
Simon talks about the 10 bottle mixed box...
@@42Hertzer The mixed Belgian beer box is only 6 bottles
@@42Hertzerit’s only six
Agree with your review - beautiful beer in its own right... but not an imperial stout.
Bloody love a golden draak fucking lovely stuff
you could visit Nirvana by drinking their Triple or Quadruple.
I wish that I could it.
i don't like the iron taste you get off stouts, it just dont work for me, but 12% lol wow.....
So an average of 7.5 seems fair 👍
Is it my ears or your superb Welsh accent but do I hear you say a 'Belgium beer '
rather than a Belgian beer?
You hit the nail on the head, it’s definitely not a Stout.

Right Si! I’ve come to the conclusion you are just no good for my wallet or savings account! 😂👍🏼
I didn't like this beer that much. It was not unpleasant but I expected more
I'll buy them and put on a shelf and forget them for two or three years, definitely doesn't hurt the taste. :)
Awesom box of beers, nowt under 10% 😂
Gulden draak = Gold dragon
your sides will be aching after drinking too many of these!
Not a belgian fan really, give me real stouts
