Bouteille 33cl, BB 04/2014. Brune foncée, col café au lait. Arôme est malté, note grillée avec une fine note de tourbe. Caramel aussi avec un houblonné restant en retrait mais ajoutant un léger bouquet fleuri. Palais est agréable, restant sec avec pas mal de grains. Levure également là et donnant une certaine épaisseur en bouche. Malt grillé avec un houblonnage présent qui donne un beau caractère à la bière dans un côté citronné. Stout qui au fini reste un peu râpeux et sec.

Bottle 33cl, a dark beer with low head. Nose is dry and very roasted like. Aroma is on dark malt, high roasted touch, slightly astringent, no fruit notes, dry, not bad but quite basic.

Bottle at 2nd tuesday tasting. Pours dark brown/black with a small tan head. Aroma is roasted malts, some coffee and molasses. Taste is roasted malts, coffee and some chocolate with a dry and light bitter finish. Bit thin and not very outspoken, but quite nice for the low abv.

Bottle. Pours a light black beer, small tanned head. Aroma is fresh ground coffee, roasted malts and light molasses. Not too heavy. Flavor is quite big for a low abv beer, roasted, sweet and has a dry finish. Very decent.

Bottle shared at the molen monthly beer tasting. Thin tan head. Clear black pour. Nice drinkable stout.

Bottle at monthly 2nd Tuesday tasting @ De Molen, hosted by dEnk. Dark brown to black pour. Aroma is roasty, tannine, molasses, quite dry and dark. Flavor is a bit bitter, dry but with a thin body. Subtle and delicate. Careful brew, nothing exceptional.

Bottle shared at De Molen tasting. Pours dark brown with a ring tan head. Aroma of chocolate, dark fruit, light smoke, light coffee and a touch of raisin. Flavour is moderate sweet and bitter. Medium bodied with soft carbonation.

Bottle in a hotel room in Paris. Black coloured with a medium sized beige head. Light roasted aroma of caramel with notes of smoke. Light roasted flavour of hay and caramel with notes of peat. Light roasted finish.

Bottled at La Fine Mousse, Paris. Near black with coarse beige head. Coffee aroma. Mid sweet with light-medium body and rounded mouthfeel. Nice concentrated flavours of dark chocolate and coffee. Fairly low bitterness.

Pours opaque dark black with just a tiny bit of brown head that fades quickly. Aroma is really strong coffee and some prune. Attack is a bit of prune, mid palate is clove and a bit of banana as well as dark malts. Mid palate is very Belgian. Finish is more dark fruit and the coffee from the nose. Carbonation is very low. Body is petty watery. Pretty nice, and interesting for sure, but more gas and body would be great.
