Bottled (nr.332). Dark brown coloured beer with a large white head and little carbonation. Rather strange aroma, light soury on the one hand, sweet malty roasted with some drop-licorice touched hints. Medium to full palate. Finish is again strangly touched, sour sweet, malty and roasted hints. Very particular and distinct beer, but not my kind of flavour.

I have had this a couple of times but oddly enough I have never gotten down to reviewing this beauty // 33 cl. bottle @ ‘t Waagstuk // (a) dark brown with a lighter tanned head // (s) darker malts, nuts, mocha, lighter touch dark fruits, chocolate // (t) bitter mocha, cocoa, chocolate, lightly bitter half-dried dark fruits, berries, nuts, chocolate, hints of dark bread, Porto in finish, lightly vinous, hints of jus in the beginning, really lovely // (b) nice smooth, substantial body // one of the better dark Belgian ales in my opinion

Bottle. Dark brown color. Malt, dark chocolate, caramel and cinnamon in the aroma. malty sweet flavor with caramel and cardemom. A bit too sweet maybe. But not a bad beer at all.

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.

smoke, coffey, chocolat, peat, dark malts at first, but later on it get more fruity with some cherry and other dried fruits... very nice... taste is bitter at first, but then more sour/sweet... long bitter and dark finish... great beer

UPDATED: APR 8, 2012 66 cl bottle @ home. Pours reddish brown with a small white head – not much lacing (a little sediment floating around). Aroma is malty, yeasty, sugary, fruity, slightly funky. Taste is much of the same. ABV is incredibly well hidden.

Bottle. Creamy off-white excellent fully lasting head. Dark amber colour. Moderate malty and hoppy aroma. Moderate bitter great flavor. Long moderate bitter finish. Dark fruits very present. Creamy palate. Wonderfull beer.

Murky brown, large beige head. Lovely port-like smell! Taste is port, overripe fruit, raisins, figs, some wood, vanilla, earth, dry sour wine. Full body, good carbonation. Wonderful beer!!!

Bottle from Björn, thanks. Bottle comes in a brown bag, perfect for american winos and litle strange. Thin grey lace. Brown color. There is much raw tobaco in the aroma and also some in the taste. There is also sweet caramell and a god bitterness in the taste.
