Tonight I have had a revelation of a beer. De Struise
Black Damnation II: Mocha Bomb. De Struise has this series of beers called Black Damnation. Each of them are crazy imperial stouts based on their already world class imperial stout
Black Albert. Black Damnation II: Mocha Bomb is an insane blend of 50% Black Albert that has had a lot of Columbian craft coffee beans added, 25% De Struise Cuvee Delphine (Black Albert aged in Four Roses bourbon barrels) and 25% Hel & Verdoemenis (an imperial stout from De Molen brewery that was aged on Jack Daniels barrels for half a year).
Read my review on the hyperlink. This is the best blend of a coffee-forward stout & a barrel-aged stout that I've ever had, and that includes Founders famed
Kentucky Breakfast Stout and
Canadian Breakfast Stout. Canadian Breakfast Stout is really ****ing rare - never bottled but offered on-tap in major cities at least one time. KC and STL are going to get it in for a second time really soon). Black Damnation II is better and rarer. The Black Damnation series is not, and will not be, available for retail anywhere in America. I got mine straight from the brewery because I know a guy who knows a guy. And I still have one more bottle left of this elixir.
Tomorrow: De Struise Black Damnation III!
