Bottle: Abv 11% Medium tan head, changes quick into an almost closed tan lacing on top of a deep dark ruby colored beer with some black tints. Smell chocolate, fresh roasted and smoked malts, spices/herbs, hint of liquorice and something like grainy (light liquor) sweetness. Taste Is pretty soft and creamy with a nice mixed bunch of ingredients like chocolate drenched hops, toasted barleys, smoked malts, nice bitter (nothing irritating to be detected, yes!), some spices and light warmth (alcohol notes), something light sticky, nice hoppy grassy touch and a gentle toasted light smokey grainy sprinkle on top. all very gentle and very well balanced! Spices, roasted malts, grass and chocolate bitter in the aftertaste. Low carbo, soft mouthfeel, full body and a creamy sticky texture. Very good beer, though the smell is very nice, the flavours are not as strong but the spicy alcohol notes jumps out but not in an annoying manner. If it wasn’t for the small info note here on Ratebeer, you could definitely classify this beer as an (Imperial) Stout. Alcohol is well hidden.

2012 - 05 - 19 300ml bottle. darkbrown almost black colour. medium creme head. roasty dark fruits in aroma. light bitter taste.

30cl bouteille, bb 09/2013. Acajou, col fin et crémeux beige. Arôme est malté sur un bouquet agréable et fumé, grains, caramel, sur une note fruitée rouge et un léger houblonnage tirant vers le citronné. Palais est agréable, malté sur une note fumé discrète mais ajoutant tout de même une belle dimension en bouche. Le tout couplé à une pointe de caramel, aspect café au lait. Houblon reste en retrait ajoutant une légère amertume citronnée. La bière pourrait presque passer pour un jeune barley wine, le tout est épais presque d’avoine avec un sucre résiduel en fin de bouche. L’alcool se fait plus présent sur la fin.

Bottle 300ml.

Bottle, from trade with Papsoe. It pours a clear, ruby color and a finger-thick off-white to light beige head. Smoked nose, evident hops, those two sort of clashing together leaving an impression of sour milk. Not that sour milk is the dominant aroma, there’s just something similar going on. Meaty, coffee-like notes in the back, slightly roasted. Not really sure if I’m fond of it. Well, I think I do. It’s quite fruity too, mostly on the dried fruits side. The flavor starts quite meaty and coffee-ish, followed by dried fruits, bitterness, fruityness and smoke. Some strange notes of over-ripe strawberries too. In a nice way that is. It’s full-bodied and nicely carbonated. Smoked, bitter and sweet finish. Overall, a nice one, indeed, blending a lot of different flavors in a nice way. Strange, complex, tasteful and more-ish. Definitely one I’d like to have again. 110218

If you’d tell me this was a De Molen beer I would believe you. It has the flavor, palate and bitterness that many De Molens have, not to mention the high alcohol percentage. The smoke is nice, red berries underneath, great palate. Bottle from De Bierkoning.
