CONCLUSION : on n'est dopé par cette doppel … (5/3/4/1/7) (music pairing : un petit concert de Running wild, à Wacken en 18 .. 2018 et pas 1918 … époque où il y avait des sauvages aussi .. ) Monday, February 8, 2021

JorisPPattyn	3.3 Schans Stout (2018) Enormous cream-beige head, near-black beer. Sweetish nose with greenery, and an aroma not unlike bog-myrtle and human sweat. Sweetish flavour as well, more greenery, and again a strange flavour, somewhat less bog-myrtle like. Especially in the aftertaste, one gets a madeirisation impression, and there is definitely some oxydation. Bit smoky in the end. Strange stout, if not bad. Monday, February 18, 2019
