33cl, as Kuro-OWA, new exclusive brew Anno 2011, from De Hopduvel Gent, not complex sweet Stout, malty/spicy and slightly roasted, balanced, clear, rocky head, good Winter brew

33cl bottle bb 06/10/2013. Not sure how this fits a stout profile. Brune foncée, col épais café au lait. Arôme rappelle de suite le riz, grains concassés et prend un peu le dessus sur le reste des ingrédients. En bouche, malt léger avec cette impression de riz qui rappelle la version Owa à 5% avec un malt pâle/grillé et caramel plus foncé et léger fruits noirs. Amertume reste modérée avec des houblons belges et allemands en amertume, reste un peu mono dimensionnelle sans vraiment développer le potentiel des ingrédients.

4/I/2012 33cl bottle from Kerstbierfestival (Essen) @ home - BB: 6/X/13 (2012-8)

Clear dark brown beer with red glare, big aery beige head, pretty stable, non adhesive. Aroma: dry, grass, hay, lemon peel, some pepper, faint touch of sweet malts. MF: quite some carbon, a bit too much, medium boy. Taste: sweet malts and caramel up front, not too sweet though. Then citrus takes over with a faint touch of roasted malts and mocha, warming alcohol too. Aftertaste: citrus turning to slightly bitter taste with some grapefruit and lychee, also bit alcoholic.

Head: none
Colour: dark brown
Smell: spicey,sweet,malts, coconut
Taste: bitter irony taste, port, barley, sweetcorn,malts, end is dry, good !

Sample from bottle at 17th Kerstbierfestival in Essen. Dark clear brown color, bright white edge head. Aroma of coffee and feet, in a somewhat good way. Taste is slightly sour coffee soda. Interesting.

sampled 33 cl. bottle @ Kerstbierfestival 2011: black as it should be with a slight red hue & tanned head – S: lots of Belgian hops & spices, bit duller & not quite what I expected – T: grains, light dark malt, Belgian hops, plenty of spices, dark fruits, touch of booze in the finish – B: rather light & slightly sparkling – ok maybe not as awesome as I was hopping, I mostly got it because the name seemed cool, total geek thing

Sampled at OBER Kerstbierfestival Essen 2011. Opaque very dark brown, almost black color with a derk red glow coming through when held into the light. Small off-white head. Smell smoakey, malts, slightly sweet. Taste malts, sweet, slightly roasty. Fizzy carbonation, low to medium body.

Bottle, Essen Kerstbierfestival 2011. Darker brown to almost black coloured beer with a small brown head and very light carbonation. Rather strange, almost veggy hinted roasted malty aroma. Medium palate. Finish is strange sweet bitter malty with a wattery ending. Medium.
