Dit bier doet denken aan Nutella. Het smaakt of althans doet denken aan hazelnootpasta. Zoet en donker bier. De geur is aangrijpend goed en sterk. Het mondgevoel is dik en stevig en prikkelt een beetje. De smaak is uiteindelijk misschien wat minder, nadat de eerste smaaksensatie van Nutella wegebt. 

Nutella is de merknaam van een pasta voor broodbeleg van het Italiaanse bedrijf Ferrero. De pasta werd in 1946[1] ontwikkeld en in 1964 op de markt geïntroduceerd, aanvankelijk onder de naam 'Giandujot Supercrema'. Tegen het eind van 1964 registreerde Ferrero de merknaam 'Nutella' en daarbij de afbeelding op het etiket, die nadien ongewijzigd is gebleven, behalve op tijdelijke actiepotten. Ook de vorm van de pot is merkenrechtelijk beschermd. Een soortgelijke combinatie van hazelnoten en chocolade werd door chocolademakers in Turijn en omstreken al in de vroege negentiende eeuw ontwikkeld om te besparen op de hoeveelheid cacao. Tegenwoordig wordt het product wereldwijd verkocht; het is met name in Europa, Australië en de Verenigde Staten populair. (https://nl.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nutella)

Neon Raptor – Abandoned Dragons (2023) Stout – Imperial / Double Huge, rich, dark, sweet and sticky: Abandoned Dragons is a big hazelnut and maple imperial stout. Embrace, don’t abandon the dragon. This year’s variant is our best yet and the can actually shows a dragon, rather than the wyvern we’ve had on previous versions. Alc. 13% (https://www.debierliefhebber.nl/product/neon-raptor-abandoned-dragons-2023/)

Bitterheid65 IBU IngrediëntenLactose, Belgische Kandijsiroop, Hazelnootaroma, Maple Syrup, Chocoladearoma (https://melgers.nl/product/neon-rapter-abandoned-dragons-hazelnut-maple-imperial-stout-44cl-blik/)

Lactose en hazelnootaroma, kandijsiroop, maple syrup (toch gewoon esdoornsiroop?), en chocoladearoma klinken allemaal niet zo natuurlijk? Met 13% is het een zwaar bier. Dat voel je even later na de eerste paar slokken wel. 

Abandoned Dragons is a huge Maple and Hazelnut Imperial Stout. The strong, dark base brings hints of coffee and chocolate to support the sweet, sticky and delicious topping of maple and hazelnut pie. (https://www.weebeershop.co.uk/product/neon-raptor-abandoned-dragons/)

Hazelnootvlaai? Koffie? Nee dat lijkt me niet zo duidelijk. Het is eerder zo een Ferrero Nutella pasta bier, zo donker en zo zoet.
