Bottle from the Struise beershop. Cloudy brown beer, frothy tan head. Semi dry palate. A little prickly carbonation. Rich dark malt with a strong coffee streak. Some cream as well. Joins up nicely and in to a very drinkable beer.

Bottle: Thanks to Fonefan. This one gushed but not in the way that much beer was lost, it gushed a snake of foam. 3 glasses full and the foam kept coming! After a while, when the airy brown foam disappeared, a deep dirty brown beer appeared. Smell hops, coffee, hints of liquorice, spices, toffee, a a slight hint of earth. Taste is a nice mix of coffee, wood, alcohol, whiskey, liquorice, grass, herbs, dark fruits, raisin, fresh, roasted malts, light bitter, brown sugars and a touch of dryness. Very nice coffee grass aftertaste. After the foam disappears the beer had low carbo, a full body and a soft light dry mouthfeel. Watery texture.

Gushing to two glasses of dark greige foam, lasting annoyingly long and leading eventually to an ultimately dark brown beer. Dark chocolate or chocolate sauce, roasted aromas; hops, bark & undergrowth. Nice, because not too overpowering. Roasted, again chocolate (maybe a bit burned -sauce); bitterish and spicy, but with massive maltpresence underneath. Bit unidimensional, not really complex. Very well-bodied, oily, filling, and of course the impressive head with serious carbonation. Quite OK, but there’s better I.S. around.

Bottle. Almost black and opague. Pours a huge head. Dried red fruit and licorice in the aroma. Malty alcoholic flavor with roast, pipe tobacco, ash and licorice. Pipe tobacco in the finish. Maybe just a bit out of control, still delicious.

from erzbierschof.ch - dark black beer under a giant very foamy dark beige head; roasted coffeish aroma with notes of vanilla; overcarbonated; and hugely sweet, a solid bitterness soon takes the control producing a confusing dichotomy; thick and oily, full-bodied; a long coffeish and slightly chocolatey roasted and fairly hoppy finish with warming alcohol notes

Bottle 330ml.

Gusher - unclear dark brown color with a huge, frothy - creamy, good lacing, mostly lasting, off-white head. Aroma is moderate to heavy malty, roasted, caramel, dusty chocolate, De Molen malt aroma. Flavor is light heavy sweet and bitter with a long duration. Body is medium, texture is oily, carbonation is soft. [20110208]

Shared with Evil stepdad on Christmas eve. Dark brown look with a frothing brown head. Mainly hop aroma with lots of citrus backed up by roasted chocolate. Nice bitter roasted malt flavor with a sweet chocolate touch and a good amount of alchohol. Too carbonated though
