4.1 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 5/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 5/5 OVERALL 16/20
18 cc bottle. Pours dark with almost no head. Aroma is great with notes of licorice, coffee, dark chocolate and oak. Taste is similar to the aroma, in my opinion a little too much alcoholic. Palate is great and the carbonation is very low.

4.1 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 17/20
Black as hell with a low brown head. Aroma of roasted malt, coffee and chocolate. The flavour is very balanced ranging from medium sweet to a light bitter ending that lasts a long time. Full-bodied with an oily texture and soft carbonation.

4 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 17/20
On tap.
Dark brown with a tanned head.
Aroma is of roasted malts, smooth coffee, fudge and a lot of vinous fruits.
Flavor is sweet and malty with a noticeable character of liqueur-like fruity booziness. Notes of coffee and dried fruits. Ends warming with some nice rich notes of malts and brandy.
Medium body, smooth texture.
A nice one. But perhaps not better than the original.
4.5 AROMA 9/10 APPEARANCE 5/5 TASTE 9/10 PALATE 5/5 OVERALL 17/20
75cl Bottle from De Bierkoning to celebrate my 31st birthday. Pitch black colour, creamy beige head. Aroma of superb roasted malts, coffee, plain chocolate and a little booze, tar. Flavour is hard roasted malts, chocolate, tar, sweet choc mousse, booze, some liquorice, bitter roasted and hoppy finish. Fullbodied, thick oily mouthfeel, soft carbonation. Excellent stuff, just a bit more boozy than the regular version, but also more roasted flavours which I like a lot. Superb.
