Bottled. Black colour with big, airy, tan head. Toast malts, subtle licorice and metallic nose. Hard, metallic mouthfeel with toast malts, coffee tar and licorice. The beer seems pretty dry and lacks in complexity. Low-medium bitterness with light-medium mouthfeel. This beer didn’t appeal to me.

Dark black in color, thick and small head. Nice black stout aroma and flavor. This was truly a thick dark malty brew. Huge flavors.

Tasted this in the Rose Red Cafe, Brugges in April 2012. 33cl bottle. Dull black in colour with a thick light tan coloured head. Long pleasant aroma of bitter chocolate and black coffee. Thick oily mouthfeel and good lacing. Dark malts give a strong roast malt character with plenty of dark bitter chocolate, mocha coffee, liquorice and dry currants. Sharp smokey prickle of earthy hops present in the dry bitter aftertaste. Finish is again dry and malty with liquorice long in the mouth. An excellent stout and well recommended.

33 cl. bottle @ Bier Circus // dark brown going to black with a very café au lait looking head (interesting) // smell reveals it having definitely too much yeast in it, malt, lightly roasted, coffee, plenty of cocoa, light hints of bitter coffee // yeast heavy taste, plenty of cocoa, more than coffee, small hint of liquorish & yeast, dark fruits, roasted malts heavy finish, hint of dark bread, some bitter milk chocolate // body is not very heavy & quite creamy // my boss compared it to Guinness, a cliché but he certainly did have a point, this is much better & less watery than regular Guinness

330ml bottle. Pours pitch black with a large head. Aroma is liquorice with a little banana yeast. Taste has a little roast to start. Lots of liquorice in the finish with Belgian yeast.

Pours black with a thin tan ring of foam. Aroma of roasted malts, black licorice, and dark fruits. Sweet flavor. Silky on the tongue with a finish that coats the back of the tongue.

Dark brown beer, clear. Soft palate but decent carbonation underneath. Porter like dark malt with some repressed banana. Finishes dry and minerally. Decent.

33cl bottle @ home. Dark brown color, dark ruby red glow coming through. Medium to full creamy beige to light brown head. Don’t smell much, just some malts and slightly sweet. Taste malts, slightly sweet, also some bitter and raisin. Medium body, medium carbo.

A great Belgian stout... pours a slightly deep burnt umber color with a inch or so of mocha foam that laces out nicely. Great classic bitter chocolate, licorice and coffee lead into and interesting slightly fruity rye finish.

Tap at Max’s. Pours clear black with a medium, fizzy light tan head, medium retention with good lacing. Aroma is dark fruity esters, roast and chocolate malt with earthy hops. Flavor is malt dominant with light hops and bitterness, dark fruity esters and a dry finish. Medium body, warmth and carbonation.

Hazy very dark orangey brown with a beige head. Aroma is sweet, malty, roasted malt, chocolate and dried fruit. Flavor is quite sweet and rather bitter. Dry and moderate bitter finish. 140212
