@ Winterbierfestival PRZH 2010, Gouda. Black colored brew. Roasted aroma. Very decent bitterness in the flavor, roast, dark chocolate. Dry and a bit thin.

Bottle at 17th winterbierfestival, Gouda. Pours black with a thin tan head. Zweet spicy aroma of grass and licorice. Quite complex dry flavor, spicy and bitter. Bitter finish.

UPDATED: FEB 1, 2010 Deep black pour, creamy brown head. Really sweet aroma of liquorice and smoke. Thin and dry smokey flavour, hints of liquorice and spices, quite watery. Nice easy going stout, but if you’re really longing for a stout, drink a proper one.

Bottle. Weak aroma, a little vinous. Almost totally black colour, very little head. Very malty and chocolaty flavour, a little sweet liquorice. Chocolate aftertaste. Not very bitter. Very nice beer.

Kasparus started brewing again in 2005 after a 4-year sabbatical and one of the results is this stout (stouterd means bad boy in Dutch). The beer is almost black with a fine small brown head. Aroma is pretty weak, but gives away some roasted malts. Taste is more than ok, sweet fudgy/caramelly taste, finishes off with a (bit too) gentle bitterness from roasted malt that keeps lingering as the beer warms up. Mediumbodied. Far from bad for such a small brewery, actually: it was a surprisingly tasty beer.
