4 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 5/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 16/20 fiulijn (10390) - Como, - SEP 5, 2011
Bottle from Beer Planet, Brussels Cloudy dark brown color, almost black,with a generous creamy head. Nice aroma of dark chocolate and mild roasted malts. Good body structure, round, with very good dark chocolate flavor, and roasted malt; there is just a moderate sweetness to balance it; good bitterness level too; there are just traces of liquorice; the final as well is very chocolatey. Very good.

4 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 16/20 sebletitje (4394) - Enghien, BELGIUM - APR 18, 2012
33cl from Willems & Zoon. BB Dec. 2013.
Brune foncée, col épais beige crémeux.
Arôme est malté laissant percé un bouquet grillé, poudre cacao et un profile notable de levure.
En bouche, malt caramel, grillé présentant une pointe café, choco amer, le tout gardant plus un profile d’un stout belge. En retrait je note une pointe de malt fumé et ce côté vieux grains/sec.
L’amertume tout comme le houblon reste modérée et très discrète.
