Bottle. Dark brown, beige head. Aroma of brown sugar, roasted malts, coffee and chocolate. Flavours are the same, with addition of some dark fruits, bitter finish. Fullbodied and smooth.

Bottle courtesy Trappistenbier. Thanks Filip. Pours black with a large tan head that leaves great lacing. Aroma of roasted malt, dark fruit, coffee, and chocolate. Taste is the same as aroma but less prominent. Medium thin mouthfeel with a mild to moderate amount of bitterness and smooth alcohol Very good.

[1251-20080404] 330mL bottle. Sweet malt aroma with mild wood and very faint chocolate hints. Dark dark brown body with a long-lasting creamy tan head. Sweet bitter dates and fig flavour with roasted malt notes. Full body is smooth. Enjoyable.

Funny, I just stumbled on some of my notes from my first order from belgianshop.com. I shared this with my neighbor and we both really enjoyed this one. Much sweeter, much maltier and creamier(wow)than the one you get here in America. By looks you might not know the difference. But by smell and flavor you certainly would. Chocolate and coffee abound. Yum.

Bottle in a trade. Pours a black tan coffee head. Very different from the original. Sweet malt and chocolate, some irish whiskey like flavor. Creamy foamy body. Sweet thin chocolate malt boozy upfront with a nice warming. Sweet malty, roasty chocolate coffee. A certain after dinner drink.

Bottle, thanks after4ever! Pours blackish brown with walls of tan lace. Medium body, light carbonation. Lots of coffee and chocolate in the taste and aroma.

Jet black with a beige rocky head. Strong roasted aroma. Bitter coffee flavour, fruity and dry, with a mildly unpleasant light tartness. I expected a lot from this beer, and although its a pretty decent stout, I am a little disappointed.
