Bottled. A dark nut-brown beer with a thin tan head. The aroma is sweet with notes of malt and caramel, while the flavor is sweet with ntoes of malt, caramel, and roasted malt, leading to a dry and bitter finish.

bottle, pours dark brown, tall frothy tan head. Aroma is roasted malt and coffee. Flavors start crisp with lots of carbonation bringing a sweet malt body that fades into a lightly bitter roasted malt finish. Malt through and through. Nice brew.

Trade with Fonefan, comes as Malmedy Black. It is black-brown with a red hue and a creamy head. The aroma has notes of roasted malt, dark fruits, yeast and light licorice. The flavour has a light sweetness and notes of roasted malt, caramel, dark fruit, licorice, and the finish has some slightly dry citrus. It is very stout-like, smooth and nice.

Black with creamy head. Roasted malt at first followed by a little salty smoke and finally bitter coffee.

UPDATED: JAN 30, 2010 Re-rating after a much better bottle, also at Moeder Lambic St-Gilles. None of that out-of-place tartness from before. Incredibly roasty but quit dry and quaffable. Simple, honest stout. Grainy tannins are not unwelcome. Phenols are there but subdued. First rate: Bottle at Moeder Lambic. Pours black with tight-laced and very sturdy tan head. Lightly sweetish nose like cola with faint roasted coffee notes. Flavor has some slight lactic tartness and a subtly roasty backdrop, mildly bitter and going quite dry. Medium body, soft and airy carbonation. Pretty light. Interesting and attractive beer but it didn’t hit my sweet spots.

Dark brown with medium beige head. Sweet aroma with roasted malt, coffee and caramel notes. Sweet flavor with hard roasted malt, yeast, caramel and coffee notes.
