Bottle. Dark brown colour with off-white head. Sweet malty aroma, some hints of licourice and coffee. Malty roasted flavor with some fruitiness. Thin malty aftertaste.

Bottle at Delirium Café, Brussels. Clear orenge brown coloured with a medium sized off white head. Fruity aroma of liquorice and fruits with notes of spices. Fruity flavour of liquorice, dried fruits and yeast with roasted notes. Light roasted finish.

Black with reddish sparks; just a slim rim of off-white foam. Yeast looses at the very end, in tight descending specks. Nutty nose, some liquorice, and molasses. Quite neutral taste at first, then it splits up in a light-burning MF sensation, and a sweet underlying basic taste, not cloying. Very light MF, just a bit of slickness. Still way too sweet-neutral for a porter - and too light by half. Disappoints, as there’s such a load of great French black beers, epitomized with the use of their "black barley".
