3.1 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 12/20
Bottle. Deep cherry red-hued deep brown body, medium off-white head. Aroma is roasty caramel, banana, hints of dark candy sugar, coffee and bubble gum. Taste is dark malts, roasted tones of nuts and coffee, yeast, hints of candy sugar and slight metallic notes. OK, but a bit strange - this beer lingers in between a Belgian Strong Ale and a stout, but cannot seem to make up it’s mind - or fully function in between.

33 cl bottle @ Uusi Apteekki. Rated on 13.05.2011
Aroma is roasted with some cocoa and licorice. Flavour has lots of licorice with some coffee and belgian yeast. A Belgian version of foreign stout, I’d say. Good!
3.6 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 15/20
Pours very dark brown with a medium mocha head. Aroma is hoppy with dark fruit and yeasty notes. Flavor follows suit...light notes of fig and candy sugar...very belgian. Mouthfeel is medium...a tad thin...and the finish is roasty and lingers.

Shared with mm. Bottle had a little age on it. Dark brown pour with good ring of light brown head. Sweet dark cherry and chocolate and a little biscuit. Flavor follows nicely and again has the faint bready yeasty notes that give this a good full chewy body. Smooth and creamy finish. This was my favorite of the tournay beers that i’ve tried.

I was slightly dissapointed with this brew. I love stouts, but this one fell a bit short of my expectations.
The pour was black, slightly thin. A nice aroma of roasted malt, bread and chcolate.
Flavors were caramel, chocolate and belgin spice. But it was bit thin and simple.
2.8 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 9/20
Black pour with a fairly ample tan colored head. Slowly dying off, leaving a layer of lacing behind. Peppery, leather, slight anise aromas. Very dry, roasty flavor. Big alcohol bite. Not a stout I would seek out again.
3.7 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 14/20
Bottled. Near black, firm rocky head. Light floral aniseed aroma. Dryish and fruity with medium-full body and well rounded, lightly spritzy mouthfeel. Mild licorice and tobacco, salty with faint notes of marzipan. Velvetty finish with growing bitterness. Tasty and very elegant.

11/2 ounce bottle, Tournay Black label, from Wine Warehouse Charlottesville, VA, best by 05/12. Pours dark brown with a large fizzy, frothy head. Good head retention. Aroma of roasted malts, plums and other fruits. The taste is roasted malts, a tart herbal note, anise, coffee, faint fruits and a bitter hop finish. Interesting. Medium bodied, moderate carbonation.
