3.8 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 15/20 JorisPPattyn (6736) - Antwerpen, - JAN 29, 2012
Small, tannish head over black beer with brown lining. End of bottle fully yeast-filled. Strong roasted nose with outspoken ureum aromas, and drying grass. Coffee, hints at spirit. Again very roasted with roasted barley sourish imprint, finish being sweetish-bitter. Peppery character, lots of roasted coffeebeans. Bitter chocolate retronasal, carrying a long-lasting roastiness into the aftertaste, with much alcoholwarming. Velvety-rich, viscous feel. Pretty well-balanced for such an outspoken beer. Many thanks to Kees!

Bottle: Small off white creamy bubbly half open lacing on top of an almost black beer with a brown edge. Smell poo, mint, ash, liquor, liquorice, coal. Taste green grass, old liquorice, mint, light roasted malts, herbs, some hops, mint branches and some light light oak. Grassy roasted hoppy mint ish aftertaste. Low carbo, soft light watery texture, medium to full body and a light creamy ish texture. Looks like this beer fell into a barrel with mint. Damn! Guess I tasted a bad bottled version...
