Moersleutel - Motor Oil Imperial Stout
Hailing from the Netherlands, this 0.5% ABV brew arrives in a 440ml can and is suitable for vegans. The ingredients are listed as being malted barley, flaked oats, flaked barley, flaked wheat, roast barley, natural flavourings and hops. (It also declares the beer to contain gluten and possibly with traces of nuts - including peanuts). As one might expect of motor oil, the frothy pale brown head soon dissipates, leaving behind a glass of near black stout. There is a strong aroma - mostly of vanilla but with some woodiness in there as well. And the taste.... The taste is massive. Dark chocolate, vanilla, tonka, liquorice, coffee and treacle practically explode on the palate. The mouthfeel is rich and creamy, whilst the finish is soft and mellow. Moersleutel describe themselves as beer engineers and on this evidence I'd appreciate them designing more AF beers. And soon!
