Bouteille 33cl. Couleur brune ambrée avec un col épais ocre/ivoire. Quand une brasserie remet au goût du jour les stouts classiques belges. Arôme un malt grillé avec note de poudre de cacao qui reste léger ainsi que un bouquet houblonnée fleuri. En bouche, on a une stout qui est vraiment sèche et cela va tout en son honneur. Le cachet est mis sur le malt qui est bien torréfié et reste présent tout au long de la dégustation. Une touche de houblon fleuri ainsi que de levure viennent un peu relever le tout. Cette bière reste bien effervescente, et j’apprécie ce long fini malté et grillé. Vers la fin alors que la bière gagne en t° ambiante je note une fine particule de cacao, le tout restant bien sec sur la langue. En somme, une stout de tradition qui reste très facile à boire, légère avec un très bon profile malté.

Pours black with a finger of light tan head. Smell is very roasty, a bit of chocolate. Taste has an almost sour taste, fruity and roasty. Very good.

Draught. Thick Foam. Smell - hey, tobacco, roasted coffee beans. Earthy, dry. Light body and carbonation. Haunting bitter finish.

Bootle. Pours very dark brown to black with dense dark tan coloured head. Aromas are somewhat subtle and show a little espresso coffee and some milk chocolate. A little licorice and belgian yeast coming through as it warms slight. Flavours likewise are quite sublte with some roasted grain and a little sweetness. Medium to thin mouthfeel.

Bottle @ home. Black to brown pour, foamy off-white head. Aroma is roasty, bready, and with caramel and licorice. Flavor is bitter spices, quite roasty, huge carbonation and a decent body. A bit rough, but pretty nice.

Very dark colored with a small foam. Aroma is fruity but hints of roasted coffee beans. Same for the taste, surprised by the freshness the fruitiness gives.

Bottle@Home. Black chocolate aroma with some coffee. Black, light brown fizzy head, fair lace. Coffee, bitter, not much more, flavour is fast disappearing. Very dry and sparkling.

0.75 l - Good color and some lace but that’s it. No real palate. Really felt like a porter, especially in weight.

Bottle from Kris Wines. Looks great, jet black with big white head. Taste is smooth, with some mild burnt toast roastiness in a medium finish. A little thin and watery on the palate. Highly drinkable, pleasant without being particularly special.

Bottle - 330ml. Pours a black body with a thick beige foamy head. Well balanced malty/hoppy aroma with plummy and subtle woody, coffeeish hints. Taste is slightly dominated by hoppy flavors. It carries roasted cereals notes and ends with a dry, bitter/grainy finish. Enjoyable.
