Bottle. Pours a dark, wooden brown with a small, quickly dissipating, mocha-colored head. Aroma is liquorice, roasted, portery in its fruitiness. Taste is roasted, some coffee. Turns salty liquorice, roastedness, light alcohol on the finish. Salty liquorice and light alcohol in the aftertaste. Not very pleasant. Medium full, medium carbonation.

Bottle, courtesy of bierkonig. Almost black color with crushing beige head. Aroma of coffee, chocolate, fruity hints. Fruity taste with milk chocolate, toffee, raisins, roasted malt. Fruity finish, with coffee bitterness. Little bit thin bodied, 8% version was much better, but this is still enjoyable.

Bottle from Bierkoning. Dark black with fuzzy tan head. Nose is licorice, anice and chocolate. Taste is nice malts, chocolate, coffee and sweet vanilla. A really nice and smooth stout. Well done Berghoeve.

Bottled. Very deep brown colour, close to black. Small brigeish brown head. Aroma is liquorice, some alcohol, mild raisins, roast and maltyness. Flavour is really much the same. A bit thin mouthfeel, but otherwise a nice imperial stout.

[Thanks to bierkoning]. 33cl bottle. Black colour with a frothy tan head. Aroma is toasty and malty. Flavour has notes of toaste malts, licorice and dark chocolate. The aftertaste is slightly sweet and toasty. Carbonation is medium. Texture is oily. Medium to high body.

Pitch black opague colour, nice brown head. Smells ’roze kermis zoetstok’, sweet, candy, glue. Tastes slightly roasty, sweet, candy, ’roze kermis zoetstok’ and some chocolate. The original hammer schout is more to my likings. Good carbo, medium body.
