Un nez sucré et un bon goût grillé. Une pointe de sucre dans le goût également mais légère. Vraiment très agréable.

Bottled. A black beer with a short lived off white head. The smell is sweet and there is some fruit in there (maybe blueberries?). The taste seems at first to be oversweet but it then develops a mellowness and a marshmallow taste and texture. An interesting drinkable beer.

Sampled in Ieper, this one poured with a rather stinky skunky (ick!) aroma alongside caramel malts. Knowing all too well that the smell can be deceiving, I still went forward with an open mind. Thankfully, the beer tasted much better than the smell. The caramel malts were detected in the flavor, but brown sugar, molasses, and chocolate were all there in a complex fashion for this very nice Belgian “stout.” The head was rather weak, but the lacing average. Not a bad beer, but nothing to exert excesses over if you’re not already in Belgium to get it.

33 cl. bottle @ De Groote Witte Arend: (A) dark brown/red with a hint of black & tanned head – (S) very sweet with lots of liquorish mixed with dark fruits and some caramel – (T) very sweet with heavy dominating liquorish, caramel malts, anis, Christmas spices, brown bread, brown sugar & dark malts, hint of milk chocolate – (B) average body with a very slight creamy feel to it, slightly below medium carbonation – feel a bit like everyone is unjustly slamming this because they approached this basically expecting an American style stout which is a bit odd idea despite this indeed being called a stout, this is a very Strong Belgian Ale – middling to not bad in its category – not bad for me personally

Bottle, 33 cl. Dark brown to black color with light brown head. Aroma sweet and fruity. Medium body. Taste is sweet, raisins touch, oasted malts, and bitterness.

Bouteille de 25 cl. Couleur brunâtre presque opaque, mousse moyenne mais qui conserve un petit résidu. J’aime bien ce style de bière, j’ai apprécié cette Leroy mais ils ont un peu trop forcé sur le sucre candy, dommage, ça manque d’équilibre

Bottle at t’Kantientje, Poperinge. Light, sweet Stout. Quite fizzy and fluffy. A little cola-like. Not too much flavour and no aftertaste. Some toffee and sugar.

Bottle. Hazy, dark brown color with a little head. Light aroma of fruit, roastedness and sweet malt. Flavour of sweet malt, little roastedness, but ends up sweet.

Dark color, poor head. Ordinary aroma. The taste is soooo sweet, a bit malty, sweet caramel. Easy drinkable, but not exceptional.

Tap, at ZBF 2006. Deep red black, good off white head and moderate condition. Sweet and gentle roasted coffee and delicate buttery notes in the nose, low sweet caramel and a little roasted bitterness in the mouth and a gentle sweet roasty finish.
