What about the beer?

Colour is thick black with a finger-thick quickly vanishing beige head. Aroma has charred malts, dark-roasted coffee and salty dark chocolate. Taste begins with smooth salty bitterness and heavily roasted malts. Salty and bitter strong black coffee take the lead with some malty dark chocolate flavour in the background. Near the finish strong dry bitterness comes in front with a bite of alcohol. Aftertaste is extra dry, bitter and roasty with lasting alcohol warmth.

Superb extreme flavour Imperial Stout. Roast, bitterness, coffee and in the end dryness are heavy, not rounded at all. Salty works usually better than sweet with me and this isn't an exception in any way. Once again De Molen have succeeded in brewing near to perfect strong black ale.

Well. It was only a question of whether the brew will meet the standards of the song. As it did, let's leave the explanations to the politicians.
