UPDATED: FEB 11, 2023 Good classical stout with some modern sweetness influences. Nothing overwhelming, just a neutral but strong lacking much roast or bitterness. Foeders ams

UPDATED: OCT 6, 2022 Shared 11.2 oz. bottle poured to a small snifter, showing a black/brown hue, with slight amber highlighting at the base, a fair layer of off-white froth that reduced to a thin ring, with light strands of lacing. The nose was roasted, dark/dried fruit, and pleasantly noticeable ginger. Better than medium bodied, the taste was as the aroma notes, adding a touch of cocoa, no salinity, good carbonation, decent alcohol presence, but 10% ABV? Maybe mellowed by the 5-year slumber.

UPDATED: JUN 19, 2022 Chocolate aroma, coffee, confectionery notes. Dark with a little brown foam. On the palate are confectionery notes, dark chocolate. Medium body, medium carbonation.

UPDATED: APR 18, 2021 Donkerbruin tot zwart bier met weinig schuim. Smaak is zoet, warm en krachtig met iets van gember, wat chocolade en zwarte bessen.

UPDATED: MAR 28, 2021 Donker zwart bier met een dikke beige/bruine schuimkraag die snel weg zakt. Moutig met smaken van zoethout, mint en koffie. Beetje kleverig aan de mond. In eerste aanzet zoet, die over gaat in aangenaam bittertje.

UPDATED: APR 17, 2020 Bottle, backlog from 2018. Gingerbread, cocoa, dried fruit, solvent, very faint salt, very sweet. Too boozy.

UPDATED: NOV 25, 2019 Piana beżowa, lekko zdobi szkło. W aromacie ciemny chleb, imbir, czekolada, trochę czerwonych owocków. Wraz z ogrzewaniem, ten imbir nadaje całość ciekawy, miętowy feel. W smaku słodkawe, znów w ciemny chleb, czekolada, imbiru jest mniej niż w zapachu, odczuwalna lekka słoność. Alko leciutko grzeje na finiszu. Nawet spoko, fajnie, że dodatki nie zdominowały smaku.

UPDATED: NOV 13, 2019 Nalewa się ciemnobrunatne, z drobną, beżową pianą. W zapachu dominuje imbir, w dalszej kolejności ciemne słody, lukrecja. W smaku karmel, przyprawowość (sporo imbiru, ale nie tak dominujący jak w aromacie), czekolada, kakao. Gładkie na podniebieniu, alkohol delikatny. W porządku, ale te dodatki to nie moja bajka.

UPDATED: OCT 16, 2019 Keg at jopenkerk. Pours black, nose is salty, chocolate, caramel, treacle, taste is similar, bitter dry, light ginger. 3.9

UPDATED: JUL 13, 2019 Thursday, July 11, 2019. Bottle, 33cL. 10%. Trade with Maakun ! Thank you very much :) Home. A sparkling black very very dark brown beer with a medium beige head ; short retention ; small lacing. Ginger, cardamom, toast, chocolate, light caramel, alcohol+, licorice notes. Medium round sweet, warming atmosphere, light to medium fresh spicy, light bitter, light salty indeed ! Not so refreshing but ok thirst-quencher. Good body, oily thin texture, soft gaseous to flat, sweet spicy fresh gourmet finish. Overall, great !
