Brouwerij Halve Tamme

Russian Imperial Stout·Netherlands·10.4% ABV·One of 16 Russian Imperial Stouts in hopIQ·

hopIQ found 10 beers that share Naphtha's roasted and chocolate character. A pitch-black Russian imperial stout in which roasted grains, coffee and chocolate alternate. Big and bold at 10.4% ABV, it grew out of Halve Tamme's own view of what a stout should taste like, set against the flood of pastry stouts. Brewed in small batches in Zevenbergen, where the nano-brewery has run since 2015.
