Thanks to a Ratebeerian and Joe T’s place for this opaque pour with aroma of oak, chocolate nibs and raisin paste. Body feels heavy, partially since this beer is nearly still. There’s some stickiness, a detergent note that deters me from rating higher. There’s a mystic here, not a mistake, that makes me want to revisit this beer another time...something lost in transit I bet.

Bottle. No head, light carbonation, almost black color. Deep roasted nose with dried fruit and a hint of alcohol. Round and elegant in the moth with silky-sweetness shielding of the hopbitterness that aparently is 99,9 EBU (~IBU). The finish is rich with a hint of lasting sourness The low carbonation is indeed suiting and the overall impression is very good!

Bottle at a tasting. Opaque black with no head. Aroma of roasted malt, coffee, bitter chocolate, a bit of wood and a bit of alcohol. Sweet chocolatey flavor with some smoked wood, some dark fruit notes, honey, and some slightly smoky bitterness. Full-bodied.

@ a tasting, thanks DSG, pours black opaque with syrup-like texture and no head, aroma of coffee, bitter chocolate, tender smokiness, wood and cherry, flavor of great smoked malt, wood, hash, coffee and chocolate, quite dry and complex yet some "De Moleniness" is missing, almost full body.

At a tasting, thanks DSG, no head, opaque very dark brown borgering on the black, bready malty aroma with chocolate, cocoa, fudge and traces of oak, flavours of moca and liquor filled chocolate, viscous and smooth with with the alcohol almost non noticable and a light sweetness , short aftertaste. Good but i expected more.
