Black with brown hints, awsome head with an unreal staying power, a real beauty to see poured. Chocolate ice cream aroma, soy, rich chocolate power. Very belgian tasting with its big yeast wallop. Unsweeted chocolate, figs, a bit of sourness. Lots of hints that leave me thinking Belgian Dubbel, carmelly with a twinge of sourness and alc to finish. I love De Dolle!

Bottle 33 cl. Pours black in color with a beige head. Burnt wood, cold coffee and notes of licorice in aroma. Coffee and bitter chocolate in taste. A bit of licorice and bitter chocolate in aftertaste. Feels a bit raw somehow on the whole. Enjoyed as morningcoffee outside by the sea.

NosirIwont (1733) - Aalborg Vestby, DENMARK - JUN 7, 2013
Bottle. 9.0%. Best before June 2013. Pours dark brown/black with a big, dark tan head. Rather sweet aroma, roasted, with a hint of liquorice and a light metallic overtone. As it warms a hint of vanilla appears as well as tart and dark fruit notes. Flavour is roasted and tart ,with dark fruit notes and a light metallic overtone. Bitter roasted finish with a mild alcohol burn. Lingering tart grassy note. Overall pretty good. The tart notes clashes a bit with the other notes though. 07.06.13.

Nose is chocolate malt, a soft smokiness and some sour cherries. Initially sour, the chocolate malts and smooth body come through later. Some dried pit fruits and some raisin. A soft sour finish with a touch of roast. Nothing too out there, but still quite pleasant.

TommyFi (25) - ITALY - MAY 21, 2013
Stout belga di colore nero intenso con schiuma eccellente. Al naso si sente l’alcool, forse troppo per il suo stile. In bocca l’alcool si sente meno, vengono fuori sentori di cioccolato, liquirizia e tostato per un gusto rotondo.

AirForceHops (1922) - Epping, New Hampshire, USA - MAY 19, 2013
12 oz. bottle from Nikki Liquors. The vintage is 2012 or maybe 2011. Snifter shows pitch black with a ring of off white head. Aroma of roasted malts, dark fruits, candi sugar, light licorice notes and caramel. I’m now guessing this did sit awhile before I bought it last year. Light oxidation. Flavors of cocoa, roasted malt, coffee, light char, light licorice notes and plenty of dark fruit. The body is a bit thinner then I want. No alcohol noticeable. Overall, it just a bit above average.
