3.7 AROMA 9/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 14/20Poured dark black with a small tan head. Aroma of chocolate and roast malt. Body is a bit weak, and the flavour isn’t quite as well developed as the aroma would suggest. Dry, bitter aftertaste.
3.5 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 14/20
Bottle from ABC Beers, den Haag. Poured a deep mahogany colour with a frothy tan head and some broken lace. The aroma is earty, dry and a little smoky. The flavour is medium to strong bitter with some big liqourice, roasted malt and dark chocolate. That bitterness really does hit the palate and stays there a while. The finish however is somewhat smooth and the malty chocolate aftertaste is quite divine! Quite a special beer from such a small brewer.
