De Molen Hemel & Aarde (Heaven & Earth)
Made with the most heavily peated
malt in the world from the Bruichladdich
distillery. Almost pitch black
and opaque, small head. Furiously peated
aroma, hiding the malt, licorice
and dark chocolate somewhat. Very
full bodied, thick mouthfeel, like fluid
bread. Dark chocolate, loads of peat,
lapsang souchong tea, chocolate cake,
culminating in an almost endless
aftertaste that also has licorice.
Alcohol varies by batch.

Smoke, smoke, smoke. Després d’aquest potent aroma fumat es desperten la resta d’aromes. Una cervesa molt curiosa i interessant.
Smoke smoke smoke. On the nose. On the palate. On the finish. Lets dig deeper. The smoke hides the licorice well. There is some bacon flavour intriguingly as well as some pecan pie. And some almond meal. But smokey. Like drinking a peat bog. But fascinating.
Kicsi, nem túl tartós, barna hab, fekete szín. Kakaós, csokis, kávés, aszalt gyümölcsös illat. Enyhén füstös, csokis, kakaós, kávés, aszalt gyümölcsös ízek. Enyhén édeskés, testes, enyhén szénsavas, erősen keserű. Nagyon finom, mintaszerű stout.
Esta es una cerveza obscura de alta graduación (10% abv) hecha con malta ahumada. Con un marcado aroma que recuerda a la madera tostada. El sabor es también a madera tostada, a veces pareciera que se está degustando un whisky. Una de las mejorers cervezas que haya probado.
if you're gonna drink a smokey beer Claire, this is an acceptable option
Una apoteosi di malto, whisky e alcol. Schiuma quasi assente che prelude ad birra quasi densa. Una esperienza incredibile che ti cambia la serata.

Beer tasting @ Gaultier 5/1-20. Roasted malty with coffee, charcuteries and smoke. Body is medium, the finish is dry and roasted.
@ Tjottahaijti 20200105. Bottle (330 ml) from Ales & Brews.
Roasted malty and peaty with charcuteries, dark chocolate, sweet, medium body with an oily texture.
The finish is dry and roasted.
Bottle from ales and brews. Pours a dark colour beer with a smal head. Roasted malt with notes of charcheturier, chocolate and ash. Dry finish.
Nieprzejrzyście czarne, piana niezbyt obfita, jasno beżowa. W aromacie wyraźne nuty torfowe, ale nie przytłaczają, w tle czekolada deserowa i kawa. W smaku jest bardzo podobnie, piwo jest wytrawne, z niezłą goryczką, świetnie ułożony alkohol.
Smoked flavor: smoked meat. Black, impervious with a little brown foam. The taste is smoked, burned malt. The finish is bitter. Dense body, carbonation is small.
Bottle at home picked up from the brewery. Bottled 04/05/2019. Ajet black coloured pour with a lasting light tan head. Aroma is salty meat, soy, smoked malts, phenolic, charred wood. Flavour is composed of rich sweet fruit cake, mellow roast with a hint of ash, muscavado sugars, rich, some background smoked malts, phenols. Palate is medium sweet, medium full bodied, velvety. little lingering farmyard roast, leather,
Aus der Flasche (bottled 12.01.2009) im 2019-11 getrunken. Dieses nun über 10 Jahre alte Stout ist vollkommen durchgereift. Der Faßeinfluss des schwer getorpften Islay Single Malts ist nur ganz weit im Hintergrund zu erahnen und bringt dem komplexen Aroma ein leichtes Bauernhofaroma, frisch gefettetes Leder und Kirschkernnoten. Im Vorgrund erinnern die Röstnoten an eine kräftige 70ige Schokolade. Ein tolles Stout!
Danke Erzengel für dieses Bier!
My 2000th rating on RB in Beer O'clock - Bucharest.
Rocky off white head on a dark mahogany still body.
Smoked bacon aroma.
Medium to full bodied greasy & cloying on the palate.
Sweet liquorice, malt, syrup & jam tastes.
Dark brown appearance. Aroma is smoked, sweet and sugar. Flavour is smoked, dry, sweet, roasted and coffee.
Servi dans un verre à Trappe, un illustre voisin, l'apparence est "top" avec une belle mousse brune et un liquide full black. Les senteurs sont nettement sur le fumé, le bois, le goudron (ou le tabac ? :-), le café puis la réglisse. La bouche est onctueuse, vanillée, ronde et goûteuse. Ces goûts de mats rôtis bien sûr, de fumé (bacon), de café, de bois, de réglisse, de sirop, que sais-je. La finale est surprenante et superbe. Une très bonne De Molen équilibrée et complexe, un peu sirupeuse, forte en volume d'alcool et donc ... à boire avec modération (comme d'habitude).
Impérial stout à la robe d un noir intense .. au nez des arômes fumés et boisés.. en bouche un goût fumé très prononcé avec une sensation de tabac froid et une persistance longue.. on se sent même plus l alcool .. la texture est crémeuse presque comme une Milk.. au final une bière roasted fumée 💨 très intéressante et équilibrée pour les amateurs du style
Rich black with tan head, smoky aroma. Taste molasses, treacle, and roast malt with smoke in the background. Full mouthfeel. Very tasty.
330ml bottle from Bacchanalia, Cambridge in 2013. Poured Black with a dense tan head. Rich aroma of dark fruit, spice, leather, port and peated whisky. Really full, smooth body. Smokey flavours with molasses, treacle and roasted malt. Finish was burnt malt, black syrup, prunes and liquorice. Probably my favourite De Molen beers, which by default would also make it one of my all time favourites.
Color negro, opaca. Espuma marrón de casi un dedo de espesor y corta retención. Aroma a humo, ceniza y brasas de carbón, cuero, ligeras, muy ligeras maltas tostadas y licor. Sabor en esa línea, casi todas las variedades de ahumados que se te ocurran, maltas tostadas y muy ligero licor, final amargo y seco, una leve nota a regaliz al atemperar. Textura entre sedosa y oleosa. Carbonatación baja.
Dominada de principio a fin por los muchísimos matices de lo ahumado, sin ese bacon ahumado que no me acaba de convencer y, evidentemente, sin errores. Aún así me ha terminado saturando.
Wow. Øl fra øverste hylde. Masser af humle og velsmag. Indbydende aroma. God bitterhed
I find De Molen brews almost impossible to find in the states, got fortunate with Hemel & Aarde in Santa Fe at Susan’s. My thanks. A 33 cl bottle that says dob on 5/3/12. Times awasting, I lift the lid and pour into my Cowtown snifter. It delivers a chocolate-black body topped with a fleeting top of light tan, very fine bubbles. The snifter shares the scent of earth and charcoal. Curious. The taste, rather different, and in a good way, tobacco, ash, blueberry, toffee, burnt pecans and bakers chocolate. No hint at all of the 10% abv. A nuanced veer from your standard imperial stout, not sure I will seek out later. But it is good. Points for trying something different.
Brawa czarna, nieprzejrzyste. Piana średnia, trwała, kremowa.
Aromat intensywny, wędzony, lekko kwaśny, z mocno gorzką czekoladą.
W smaku agresywne, wędzone, popiołowo-gorzkie, torfowe, wyczuwalny alkohol, ale na akceptowalnym poziomie. Dużo ciała, wysycenie niskie.
Uwielbiam takie piwa.
Near black pour with cocoa head. Peaty smoke is HEAVY on the nose and palate. A little much even for me. That said, the body is smooth AF, and the char, chocolate and coffee underneath are quite pleasant.
Tap pour at Armsby Abbey. Appearance is pitch black with no discernible sparkle, finger-width light brown foamy head with decent retention. Aroma has roasted malt but also a weird, quasi-industrial plastic/glue earthy/tart thing going on. Taste is similar to aroma; weird. Yes, strong, rich roasted malt but also a tart/yeasty sourness that's pseudo-industrial--not altogether pleasant. Palate is medium bodied with smooth texture, soft carbonation and finish as taste. Overall, some nice, decadent bits here but a bit of a weird quality as well.
Served in a balloon glass at Las Buenas Pulgas. Pours a black colour, medium beige head with short retention. Small lacing.
Aroma is smokey, with tobacco, leather, vanilla, chocolate.
Medium to full body, sticky texture, normal carbonation. Dry finish.
Smokey taste, also with tobacco, leather, some chocolate and vanilla.
Good one.
330ml bottle from beergonzo.co.uk. Black colour with tan head. Big dark roasted malt, big Islay, big peat, big iodine, medicinal, smoke, varnish, burnt coffee beans, burnt tobacco, soy sauce, burnt cocoa beans, leather, ash, espresso, booze, burnt wood, umami, earthy, gravy granules, burnt toast. One for the peat fans, definitely a love it or hate it type beer.
Aroma of roasted malt,smoked bacon.Tasts of roasted malt,smoked wood,tofee,cocoa beans.
