Struise Black Damnation XIV – Talisman is a barrel-aged imperial stout from Belgian brewery, De Struise. The brewery was born out of a small barn on an ostrich farm, and the name ‘Struise’ comes from the Flemish slang for ‘ostrich’. The brewery has achieved a lot since their conception in 2001 and was voted Best Brewery in the World by the members of Rate Beer in 2008.
Struise Black Damnation XIV – Talisman is aged in Talisker whisky barrels, giving the beer a slightly peaty, oaky flavour. The Black Albert imperial stout base brings intense coffee and chocolate notes to the party, for an intriguing, complex imperial stout that you’ll want to savour.
