3.3 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 14/20Bottle from Malting Pot, Brussels
Cloudy dark brown color, small frothy head. Aroma of roasted malts, a bit dusty. The carbonation is too high; some dry chocolate flavor and roasted malts; correct bitterness; the body is lean, not as strong as expected; correct bitterness; in the final there is a light presence of yeast, although covered by the other components.
Average.

75 cl bottle shared with Joes, Dutchdrebus and Martinus. Deep dark red color, medium to full sized decently lasting beige head. Smell roasted malts, lightly cocoa, chocolate. Taste malts, cocoa, roastyness, bitterness. Nice but a bit thin. Low to medium body, a bit too much carbonation. In the end I’m disappointed.

3.4 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 13/20
750 ml bottle. Served in a snifter, the beer pours dark brown with a couple inch light tan head. Head retention is good, and there’s a decent amount of lacing. The brew smells like dark fruit, chocolate, roasted and burnt/charred malt, and a bit of caramel. It tastes like bittersweet chocolate, burnt/charred malt, herbs and a bit of licorice. Mouthfeel/body is medium, it’s a little slick and has very high carbonation. The high carbonation hurts the drinkability of this beer at first, but it does settle down some after a while. It’s a decent roasty stout, and it’s worth trying.

4 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 17/20
75cl bottle. Dark brown with very big tanned head. It’s not easy to open this beer without spoiling the half of it on the floor. Nose : rich notes of burned malts with dominating black chocolate, dairy, toffee, cheese and nuts. Some honey and flower notes. Sip : medium body with cream like texture. Low carbonation. It’s a sweet beer with quite distinguished cocoa flavor. Got some other flavors balanced in like burned malts, toffee and honey. The alcohol content is warming. Ending is mostely sweet, burned and a bit earthy dry but dominated by black chocolate like feeling. The beer is quite delicious. I even hate it more that I lost half of it on the floor.
