330ml waxed and capped, thanks Tom. Light bodied black with tight really small tan head. Patent malt, burnt plastic and tobbaco earthiness. Slightly smokey from the peat, coffee, liqorice and earthy notes. Nice peat and the underlying brew works well to deliver it.

Super peaty smoked nose with some darker malts and earth, but peat dominates this one. Nice nose. Muddy black/dark brown pour, beige ring. Super nice peaty flavors with some roast but mostly peat. Earthy undertones, touch of chocolate and roast. solid bitterness as well. Really enjoyable.

12, capped and waxed. thanks maria! pours a dark ebony with a loose tan head. fresh peachy nose. roast and chocolate under that. creamy medium body with soft carb. hot wood, roast, dark chocolate, and a bit of coffee on the mid palate. longish roasty finish.

Mini, 0,18 l bottle, bought at PreZBF, Belgium.
Deeeeeeep brown, so it is a black one with a minimal but allury and delicious lacing beige head. The first impression about the aroma is a ton of wooden casks with a smokey character, deep roasted perfume with coffee, leather, caramel and dried, liqueric fruity smell, some candy sugar. Oily texture, thick body with fantastic balance of wood-cask, caramel, both sweet and dark chocolate and coffee, tobacco and dried fruits. One of the best DeMolen brews what i’ve tasted before.

Ho comprato una bottiglia al 4:20 ke ho tenuto per circa sette mesi... quando lo aperta aveva un colore molto bello: nerissima con un cappello di schiuma marroncino kiaro... tostatissima!! ottima

UPDATED: FEB 19, 2013 33cl, at 10%Vol, from De Hopduvel Gent, complex smoked Stout, balanced, hazy, small head, very good brew, yet expensive

dark dark brown, smooth brown head. lacings. ashy roasted aroma, coffee, malts, licorice. clear whiskey peaty notes ,well blended aroma. flavor is licorice, peat, roasted grains, malts. hop balance, ends roasted and far end is peat smoke. relatively simple, but super well done. flavor is tilted towards peat, as was intended i guess, using malts from the bruichladdich distillery.

Near black, long lasting large tan head, excellent lacing.
Aroma is very smoky, light dark chocolate, some charcole, sweet malts.
Flavour is smoky, chocolate, moderate bitterness, burnt, odererate sweetness.
Bitter mouth, med/large body, mod carb.
Finishes very smoky with a chocolate sweetness.


A smoked stout, a nice touch. Excellent mouthfeel, very good.


750ml bottle obtained in a trade with bierkoning, thanks Edo.

Bottled on November 20, 2008. Bottle #183/360.

A nose of tobacco, whiskey, smoked sausage, leather and vanilla. Taste is of leather, vanilla, smoke and fertilizer. An interesting but very extreme brew. It’s very unique, but the mix of leathery smoke and sweetness doesn’t really do it do me.

Aroma of leather, tobacco, smoke, coffee and vanilla. Appearance is black with small brown head. Taste is very odd with hints of leather, vanilla and smoke. Overall very strange and interesting beer that’s very hard to place but it’s shore is tasty.
