Jopen Meesterstuk 2026 - Mexicake Imperial Stout
Mexicake Imperial Stout by Jopen
With the Meesterstuk 2026, Jopen once again presents its annual homage to historical brewing craftsmanship — a beer deliberately conceived as a liquid “masterpiece.”
The 2026 edition is a powerful Imperial Stout in the “Mexicake” style — deep black, intense, and boasting a robust 11.1% ABV. In the glass, it reveals an opulent interplay of aromas: dark chocolate, roasted coffee, and caramelized malts, complemented by warm spice notes of cinnamon and vanilla. A subtle hint of chili lingers in the background, adding an unexpected yet elegant depth.
On the palate, Meesterstuk 2026 is full-bodied, creamy, and complex. Sweet chocolate nuances meet dark fruits, toffee, and gentle roasted notes. The chili provides a soft tingling sensation without overpowering, while the alcohol is smoothly integrated, offering a pleasant warmth.
The finish is long, smooth, and spicy — marked by cocoa, a refined bitterness, and a delicate, lingering heat. A beer that is both dessert and experience.
As a limited annual release, this “masterpiece” stands not only for flavor but also for tradition: a modern interpretation of medieval brewing artistry — opulent, multi-layered, and with a touch of extravagance.
