An opaque red-brown beer with a long lasting brown head. The aroma is very roasted with notes of coffee as well as hints of chocolate. The flavor is also very roasted with different chocolate notes, among them bitter desert chocolate, but it also contains notes of coffee. And the roastiness gives it a dry end.

Black as night body with large beige head. Superb lacing. Nose of burnt coffee, chocolate, new plastic and soft celery. Very well balance flavor of sweet- roast-acid-bitter-coffee.

En fût chez Gambrinus. 5%. Couleur noire, mousse brune. Arôme de torréfaction, café et un peu de cacao. En bouche, houblon, espresso, malt grillé. Très bonne.

Robe noire surmontée d’une mousse beige crémeuse épaisse. Arômes de café et de malt noir. Saveurs de café et de céréales.

Very dark brown, natural head. Aroma of coffee, bitter chocolate and some Rodenbach notes. Smooth body. Creamy. Milk chocolate and light toast. Sweet maltiness. Quite agreeable, unpretentious stout.

Sample tray. Big head. Black beer. Aroma of black dry licorice and coffee. Tasty delicate licorice flavour. Keep smacking your lips to get all the black sweetness and coffee out of the beer.

Tap. May 2004. Deep dark ale with a sustained moka head. Expresso aroma with floral hops, not overpowering. Dry powdery chocolates mouthfeel. A bit thin but still well balanced, due to hops.

Deep dark brown, not quite opaque, irregular dark beige head. Torrefied, highly roasty nose with coffee grains and slightly vegetal undertones. Tasty in mouth, the coffee tingles around the grainy, powdery cocoa, dry nature, mild herbal licorice hints, rooty. Good stuff, smooth low carbonation. Well executed.

The body has a deep black color with a medium, creamy beige head. The aroma has a strong roasted malt with notes of coacoa. The flavor is pretty much the same, strong roasted malt with coacoa, the finish is slightly bitter. The body has a light to medium thickness and is very silky, the carbonation level is low. Not the greatest of stouts but well done and enjoyable.
