Dark brown, light hazy and minimal head. Nutty, dried figs, brown sugar. Light sweet body and slightly dry at the end. Nice but maybe not as easy to drink as I expected. (On tap at De Prael)

Very dark pour with a tan head. Medium body. An obvious toasted malt aroma with hints of coffee. Moderately sweet, but not too sweet.

For a sweet stout, this isn’t bad at all. Definitely better than Left Hand’s and arguable better than Tallgrass’s... Dark brown, opaque, medium body, malty lactose sweetness. Roasty toasty aroma. Tried with Jess and the Fulbrighters at the proeflokaal.

Draught at De Prael Proeflokaal. Black coloured with a small beige head. Light roasted aroma of caramel and liquorice. Sweet and roasted flavour of caramel. Sweet finish.

From tap at the proeflokaal. Pours dark brown with a small tan head. Aroma is roasted malty and breadish. Dark roasted malty, breadish and light chocolate touch. Lingering roasted malty and dry breadish.

@ Ermelo beerfest. Black colored brew. Roasted aroma, some sourness. Some sweetness and sourness combined very nicely. Pleasant.

Bottled @ De Prael proeflokaal. The aroma has some coffee roast. Black coloured beer with a smaal, beige head. The taste is light bitter, bit sweet, has some caramel, coffee and roast. Quite creamy. Light-medium bodied beer. Nice.

On draft at the brewery. Dark brown color, with malty tones. I got a little sour notes which lead me to believe this one was a little contaminated.
