A Truly unique moment: drinking De Molen 'Kopi Loewak' from draft!
Amazing! This imperial stout by Hollands most gifted brewer Menno Olivier is utterly weird. Some specs: 9,5% ABV. 84 Bittering units. The story on Kopi Loewak: on the isle of Sulawesi grows coffee but some of the beans are being eaten by small cats (Cevat cats) who digest them but not completely. Actually the beans ferment inside the bowls and natives will search for Cevat cat excrements because the beans are worth their weight in gold.
Apparently this batch of beer is just under 300 liters but coffee to the value of Euro 240 has been used - do the rest of the math yourself!
The beer sells here (Arendnest bar in Amsterdam) for euro 5.50 which isn't bad at all.
* Coffee explosion in the nose
* vast toasted aroma
* massive bitter sweet body
* next to Raging Bitch one of the best beers this year!
It is already sold out if you want to know!
