30/08/2011 33cl bottle @ home - BB: 14/9/12 (2011-419) Thanks to Jerre for getting me a bottle!
Very dark brown beer, high viscosity, aery beige head, pretty stable, adhesive. Aroma: sweet caramel, some mocha, citrus fruits, chocolate. MF: ok carbon, medium body. Taste: very sweet slick start, soft citric and bitter hops, very dark brown caramel, more sugar. Aftertaste: sweet sugar, bit nasty bitter touch, more sugar. Not my cup of stout.
2.9 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 12/20
33cl, thx to Jerre!, not complex sweet Stout, yet balanced, hazy, small head, nothing special
1.5 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 2/5 TASTE 2/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 4/20
Bottle we got Keith from Noel Cuvelier’s. Pitch with a thin yellow-tan halo. Promising hazelnut praline-like aroma suggesting Westmalle/Westy, black jack hints, hay and noble hop deep in the mix . Horrible, heavily sugared, heavily sweetened flavour with zero roasted character, just a salvaging sprinkle of bready yeast. Clings with the fake bitterness of artificial sweetener half an hour after you’ve swallowed it. Truly vile- but almost drinkable, if heavily diluted with Banks’s Bitter (Keith’s idea). Belgian beer at its worse- if you can’t drink the stuff, what’s the point?
2 AROMA 4/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 4/10 PALATE 1/5 OVERALL 8/20
Pours dark brown-black, decent head. Taste is very, dominatingly sweet, akin to boiled sweets. Also some malts, mild oats and grain but sucrose dominates. Too unbalanced.
2.7 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 11/20
Pours a dark brown with a nice beige head. Aroma of roasted malts, brown sugars, caramels. Flavors of sweet malts, caramels, brown sugars, and a hint of chocolate. Low carbonation, sweet and a little creamy. A little too sweet and watery.
2.2 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 4/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 7/20
Bottle from Kris Wines. Almost black with a big beige head. Sweet aroma with hints of chocolate milk. Super sweet flavours, hints of metal. Milk flavours. Hard and flat. Not very good.
2.2 AROMA 4/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 4/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 9/20
Bottle, courtesy of Noize. Dark brown colour, small white head. Smell of sweet malts. Flavour of milk chocolate and sugar. Too sweet.
1.8 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 3/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 4/20
Dark brown colored brew. Sweet malty aroma. Flavor is sweet, too sweet. Some weak bitterness, some chocolate.Too sweet to be enjoyable.
