New beers from De Molen
More beer from Brouwerij De Molen! The most spectacular of which is Bommen & Granaten, a barleywine brewed with champagne yeast, clocking in at 15.2%ABV (398 bottles only). Incredibly concentrated beer, with lots of aging potential. Hel & Verdoemenis is the third beer in De Molen's Imperial Porter/Stout series (Tsarina Esra, Rasputin). It is brewed with types of malt that were originally used for stouts from the early 20th and the 19th century, emulating the style of the stouts from that period. Oud Hollands Tuig is a light, spicy and citric beer, very flavorsome for its 5%ABV. Apart from the new beers, most of the other beers from De Molen are back in stock: Amarillo, Amerikaans, Donder & Bliksem, and Storm & Averij.

Pizza Port & Dogfish Head
Two new American heavy-hitters on our shelves: Dogfish Head Palo Santo Marron and Pizza Port Hop-15. The former is a 12%ABV dark ale that was aged in 10000-gallon oak barrels, which were specially built by Dogfish Head - it is very delicate and complex beer, with flavors like caramel, vanilla and cinnamon. The latter, Hop-15, is less delicate, a monster of a Double IPA that's about the closest you can get to pure hop oil. Well, to be fair, it also has a strong malt backbone but the hops definitely steal the show here. Both beers are available in very small quantities only..

Black Albert
Now in stock: the already-legendary new beer from De Struise Brouwers, Black Albert. An imperial stout weighing in at 13% ABV, with a bitterness of 100 IBU and a color of 160 EBC. Incredibly concentrated stuff, but with a really soft body which makes it surprisingly smooth & easy to drink.
The first batch of Black Albert was brewed specifically for a festival at Ebenezer's Pub in Maine, and immediately received rave reviews: beer-rating website Ratebeer.com lists an average rating of 4.47 out of 5, and the average score at Beeradvocate.com is currently at 4.73 out of 5 (surpassing even the famous Westvleteren 12).
In addition. Pannepot, Pannepeut & Pannepot Grand Reserva 33cl's are all back in stock.

Pannepot 2007
The new batch of Pannepot has arrived! This '2007 vintage' comes in 75cl bottles, but we'll have it in 33cl's too soon. The 75cl bottles of the 2006 batch are all gone, so if you order a Pannepot 75cl you'll get the 2007 version.

More Avec Les Bons Voeux!
Dupont's excellent winter-seasonal Avec Les Bons Voeux has sold out quickly last christmas, but we have managed to get our hands on another few crates. This complex & spicy saison comes highly recommended, an excellent dry & hoppy alternative to the stronger Belgian tripels. Bottled in corked 37.5cl bottles.
