Serve in English pint, Shaker, Snifter

33 cl bottle. Best before 6/27/03 ! How old is this sucker? Pours an oily black with a big bubbled, mocha head. Thick lace ladders. Licorice, tobacco and black coffee. Hints of marzipan as it warms. Medium body with a touch of carb. Scrumptious bittersweet chocolate, baked apple and plum. Finishes espresso with lime peel. Maybe my oldest beer. Seems to have a more concentrated flavor but i’ve not tried a fresh one.

Tap @ In de Wildeman. Dark black color, short dark brown head. Aroma of some coffee and licorice, quite weak though, some candy sugar, dark fruit. Very clean and very bitter taste, not expected because hops are not abundant in aroma. Very malty, coffee. Clean bitter palate.

Pours a black color with a dark brown head. Aroma is roasted malts and weak coffee. Taste is actualy pretty sweet with dark candi sugar and dark fruits (mostly plums) hitting the tounge. A light roasted flavor hits at the very end of the sip. Didn’t taste the soy sauce that others were getting in fact I thought that this beer was very sweet and not really salty at all. Good stuff and would have again.

Bu à Mc Kay’s Public House à Bar harbor, Maine, en boutelle de 33 cl. Brune très foncée, peu de collet. Arome de chocolat fuge malté, un peu de caramel anglais. Goût de malte torrifier, chocolat mi-amère et quelque fruits un peu sûrettes. Tout une surprise!

Bottle - Pours dark brown/black, tan head. Notes of sweet malt, roasted nuts, coffee, bitter hops. Flavor is not as complex as I thought: coffee, roasted malt, bitter baking chocolate, dry aftertaste.... a hint of fruit. Decent mouthfeel with a finish of hops.

Tap, Café Morshuis Albergen. Almost opague with a grey, lasting head. Roast bitter flavor with a pleasant raspberry fruitiness. Just a bit thin. Roast bitter aftertaste. Not a very rich Baltic porter but very tasty.

The color was a deep coffee black. The head was dark tan, foamy, frothy, and thick. The aroma resembled an imperial stout. It consisted of chocolate tones and roastyness. The flavor was soy sauce, waxy, bitter, coffee malt, and roasty. The palate was smooth. The finish was roasty.

Bottle, It poured an opaque black/brown hue with a tan head which had some lacing. Aroma was very rich with a roasted mocha note. Flavor was sweet with cocoa with a pleasant hop bite. Finish was almost syrupy.
