De klassieker Kaapse Gozer is een Imperial Oatmeal Stout waarbij aroma's als koffie en caramel de boventoon voeren. Door het gebruik van haver heeft de Gozer een mooie romige smaak die lang en aangenaam blijft hangen in de afdronk. Deze speciale versie is 9 maanden gerijpt op Glenroth and Tomintoul (whisky)vaten, voor nog meer smaakgelaagdheid!

Kaapse’s standard imperial stout aged on Speyside whisky barrels (which one remains unspecified), from tap at Dok. Pale yellowish beige, moussy, opening head leaving a firm ring and a thin veil behind, jet black robe. Aroma of bitter chocolate, toffee, whisky indeed and clearly so, cigar ashes, dried thyme, pipe tobacco, coffee grounds, dried dates, vanilla-scenting oak wood, old tea. Sweet onset, candied dates, dried blackberries and old raisins, quite stingy carbonation for style but still full, oily mouthfeel; layers of ‘fondant’-chocolatey, walnutty and caramelly malts, developing a firm coffeeish roastedness without becoming overly bitter – and working very well with the tannic, vanilla-ish oak wood and warming, boozy whisky. Ashy, leathery and herbally-hoppy notes appear too, but the black chocolate, coffee and whisky effects dominate. Powerful, well-constructed, old school ‘impy’ – I love this.
