Luxurious oily mouthfeel, full bodied, long bittersweet finish. Taste is dark chocolate, prunes, coffee, licorice, treacle. Truly awesome.

4.6 AROMA 9/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 10/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 19/20
finally I took the time to drink this one. 2009 version. A blend with hel en verdoemenis from the molen.
Look: the beer pours a black color with a small dark brown head.
Smell: coffee, brown sugar, dark fruits, leather and tobacco.
Taste: roasted malts, coffee, tobacco, cocoa, charcoal with a nice bitterness arising from the hops which is balanced with some brown sugar sweetness.
Mouthfeel: medium body with medium carbonation.
Overall: the first of the BD series is one of the better ones,what a great beer! Although whatelse could be expected from a blend of the two best breweries in europe....
4.3 AROMA 9/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 18/20
Pours thick dark and dirty with a multi shade of brown head. Nose is big roasted coffee, chocolate, oak, light grass. This has a big malt backbone. Taste is sweet up front and the bitter teases a little before blending in with the sweet on the finish. Mouthfeel is crisp,yet smooth and soft. Long aftertaste. Heavy decadent body.

4.1 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 5/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 5/5 OVERALL 16/20
Bottle from trade with PaulHegedus - thanks! Sticker says 9.2% ABV. Motor-oil black with a nice brown head. Aroma of coffee and brown sugar. Coffee, cocoa, sugar, and a little caramel and vanilla start off the flavour. This leads into some slight spice and licorice, with some bready malt, and finally to a slightly bitter finish with warming alcohol, with more sugar too. Very good!
