Bottled. An unclear dark red-brown beer with a huge rocky dark brown head. The aroma has notes of straw, lemon, roasted malt, and wood. The flavor is sweet caramel, wood, roasted malt, straw, and alcohol, leading to a dry alcoholic finish. Thanks yespr for sharing.

Bottle at Brewberry, Paris
Dark brown color, almost black; well carbonated, slow gusher, but the head retention is short. Roasted malt aroma, caramel. Roasted malt flavor, some chocolate and soil, and ashes, with dry mouthfeel. Crossover between Belgian and Stout, clean but roasty; apparent alcohol.

27.05.2012. 0,33 l Bottle. Vinmonopolet Bergen - Valkendorfsgate. Dark brown, almost black colour. Off-white head. Malty aroma with nice flavours of dark malts an malt sweetness. Very strong and rich beer with good malty body. Lots of alcohol gives this beer a strong and good body. Very good beer!!

Bottle. Pours dark brown with light brown head. Aroma is sweet and fruity. Reminds me of cherry cola. Tastes sweet with notes of chocolate. Heavy body with a good amount of carbonation. Almost no bitterness. Definitely a Belgian Strong Ale but also very unique.

Bottle. Dark brown with a lively tan head. Sweet aroma of chocolate syrup and overripe fruit. Flavour is raisiny sweet with some burnt wood notes. Quite interesting, feuding flavour sources. Sugar and slight smoke. The alcohol is there in cahoots with the rampant sweetness and it finishes with a satisfactory bitterness. Not like any other Belgian Strong I’ve tasted. Delicious and different.

AROMA: resin, chocolate, cereal, APPEARANCE: brown, red, clear, frothy, brown foam, TASTE: medium bitterness, light sweetness, PALATE: medium body, oily feel, average carbonation, bitter, long finish, OVERALL: interesting blend of aromas from (bitter) hops and malt, nice how bitterness increases slowly on the palate.

Bottle at Patricks. Dark brown colour with a tan head. Aroma is hop, chocolate, coffee, roasted malt. flavour is hop, roasted malt, chocolate, coffee. Full body. Nice beer.

Pours dark brown with medium head and substantive body. Tastes of dark fruit, some plum, a bit of licorice and yeast, ammonia, stale bread aroma, and even a cherry bite. Tried with Imran and Paul at the Arends Nest.

Pours deep ruby brown with energetic tan foam. All stewed plums and rasins on the nose its pretty boozy in the mouth and tastes like grandma’s fruitcake. Finishes with a good dollop of bitterness and a touch of coffee.

A big head, color D. brown. Aroma chocolat malt, laurel and liquorice. The basic taste (scale from 1 to 5) sweet: 1, sour: 0, Bitter: 1, the after taste: sweet: 0, sour: 2, bitter: 2. Tast is soft en not bitter like the rest of the brewery, alc. Vol 10,2% body: 2. One of the better beers of the brewery.

On draft at CASK in London. Black with a Decent beige head that leaves a little lacing. Aroma is raisin, port, strawberry, vanilla. Slightly slick mouthfeel, sweet on the palate, with a long finish that has a slight bitterness and a little harshness. Taste is Raisins, figs, dates, oak. Nice but could be smoother, although it improves as it warms.
