Tap @ 1st BBF, de Molen. Bottled@ home. The bottle I tried at home is very explosive, but no beer will spoil (luckily, as the bottled are too small). Aroma has chocolate, lots of coffee beans and some fruitiness. Pitch black coloured beer with a beige, lasting head. The taste is bitter, sweet, has much coffee, some chocolate, dried fruits. The coffee taste is lingering and changing. Superb quality beer.

Tap @ 1st BBF, De Molen.
Pours utterly black with a very nice, staying, creamy beige head. Brilliant looks. Aroma has a super amazing coffee note, some blackberries (the others said black currants... I disagree). Cold coffee character mixed with light roasted notes and dark chocolate. Soft carbonation, lovely dry mouthfeel. Flavour has lots of coffee, yet still not too much. Roasted, chocolate, grainy. Super-long coffee finish with no lingering bitterness from coffee, just a hint of flowery hops. Impressive.

Draught Draught at 1st Borefts Beer Festival at De Molen. Black coloured with a small beige head. Sweet and roasted aroma of caramel, dark chocolate, honey, coffee and alcohol. Sweet and roasted flavour of honey, coffee, dark chocolate, hops and alcohol. Roasted and warming alcoholic finish. Nice. Pitch black coloured with a medium sized beige head. Roasted aroma of freshgrinded coffee, hops and pine needles. Roasted flavour of freshgrinded coffee, dark chocolate, hops and pine needles. Roasted finish of coffee.

Tap @ 1ste Borefts. A black colored beer, with a dark thick foamed beige head. The aroma of strong coffee, with chocolate and some dark fruits. The taste of coffee with hints of some dark fruits and bitter chocolate. The aftertaste is bitter from coffee and chocolate. Great beer.

On tap at BBF. Black colour with tan head. Nice nose of coffee, chocolate and malts. Chocolate power very overpowering. A really well done Stout.

Tap @ BBF. Dark color, medium creamy off-white head. Aroma of lovely coffee, chocolat, roasted malt, mocha. Bitter chocolat and coffee taste, mocha, slight dry palate. Great stuff.

UPDATED: NOV 4, 2009 Tap @ 1st BBF De Molen. Fresh milled coffee aroma with hints of dark chocolate. Malty sweet flavor, velvety but drenched with coffee. Also a fresh milled mocha coffee bitterness. A dry out effect in the long aftertaste is clearly noticeable. This beer is all about a high quality coffee: you can smell it, you can taste it.

On tap at Borefts Bier Festival, De Molen. Black colour, beige head. Aroma of pure ground coffee and coffee residue, bitter hops and moccha. Flavour is dominated by the (old) coffee taste, lots of bitterness and some moccha. Too much coffee for me. Medium to fullbodied.
