Apr 12, 2009 Bottle from JB185 in trade. Thanks! Pours dark brown with a short lived head. Smell is metal and roasty malt and chocolate. Taste is cocoa and is just kind of watery and has the taste of tinfoil mingled in there. Pretty metallic in the nose and taste and this didn’t impress me in the least...

Apr 9, 2009 Black with a lasting light brown head. Dark roasted flavour with ash and coffee notes, some dark chocolate and a hint of alcohol. Espresso and dark chocolate flavour dryish with a hint of dried fruits.
I had feared disgusting sweet chocolate dessert and was pleasantly surprised.

Apr 9, 2009 75cl bottle @ HJHansen, Odense. Pours black with a creamy brown head and lacings. Nose is roasted malts, coffee & cocoa powder with quite a lot of ashy notes. Smooth and full bodied. Taste is chocolate and some dark fruits. Long end. Very nice!

Apr 4, 2009 Brown pour. Lots of chocolate and cocoa, hints of malt and bread. Really boring in complexity. More like a light chocolate shake with alcohol. Very forgettable.

Apr 3, 2009 I like an escalator because an escalator can never break, it can only become stairs. There would never be an escalator temporarily out of order sign, only an escalator temporarily stairs. Sorry for the convenience. and by the way.. this beer sucks! old smell, great lacing, garbage taste, terrible stuff..

Apr 2, 2009 Nice palate that’s a bit chunky and smooth. Lots of chocolate and a sort of breadless choco cereal taste to it and it looks nice too. Heavy for 7%. Really good.

Mar 31, 2009 looks like a stout...smells like a belgian stout. definitely a belgain stout from the yeasty aroma. the name fits the brew. somehow it’s semi-belgian, chocolate-y, and stout-ish. it hasn’t quite integrated all of the aspects of the name, yet it has made a valiant attempt as such. it’s funny that all the aspects shine through of each of the three styles, yet nothing really integrates too gracefully. as a belgian ale, it’s pretty good, and definitely unique. as a stout...well, i’ve seen worse, but i’ve also seen far better. the malts show themselves as the ale warms, yet it still feels as though it is lacking the stout mentality. it’s like the brew is a bit of a conundrum, in that - it doesn’t know what it wants to be. great idea, ommegang (or duvel). but the execution could have fared to more advantageous results.
