DutchDrebus (1112) - Oirschot, NETHERLANDS - SEP 13, 2011
Very black, some redness. Beautiful brown head. No smell at all. Tastes like a sugar bomb, pure sugarness. Hardly any carbo, sugar body. Did i mention sugar yet?

Benzai (2296) - Oirschot, NETHERLANDS - AUG 16, 2011
Bottle @ home shared with DutchDrebus. Dark brown color, with a deep dark red glow coming through. Smell nothing. Taste sweet, sugar. Weird stout, don’t like it. Fizzy carbo, medium body.

Martinus (663) - Nijmegen, NETHERLANDS - JUN 28, 2011
Dark black colour, tan head. Aroma rather weak, roasted malts, some coffee, some sweetness. Flavour mostly sweet malty, like drinking an overly sweet vitamaltz or sweetened kvass. Finish sweet.
(From 25cL bottle)

Countbeer (1686) - Best of Eindhoven ohne Brauhaus, NETHERLANDS - JUN 9, 2011
Bottle: Medium sized (dark) brown head that disappears pretty quick (2nd darkest after george BA) on top of a black beer. The smell of this beer is a really light mix of roasted malts, pils malts and milk. Taste is a watery mix of liquorice, (weaker) coffee,roasted wood, brown sugars, sweets and prunes. The sweets are too present in the taste as well as in the aftertaste. Next to the sweetness in the aftertaste there are some hints of roasted malts, wood and liquorice. Low to medium carbo and body, watery texture and soft mouthfeel.

FatPhil (5964) - Tallinn, ESTONIA - MAR 7, 2011
250ml bottle (Bierkompaass.de)
6 Soft sweet slightly chocolatey roasty aroma
5 Basically so dark a red it may as well be black. Brief tan head, settles to a thin layer
6 Simple soft sweet roasty body, sugariness quite forward.
4 Sweet smooth palate, crisp carbonation fortunately cuts through that. Finish a sweet chocolate truffle initially, but the hops come through eventually for a slightly dry noble hoppy late finish.
13 Came in the wrong size bottle. Would have enjoyed a bigger bottle much more.

suprchunk (792) - Heinsberg, GERMANY - FEB 26, 2011
Pours a very dark brown, opaque. Thin light tan head that doesn’t stick around for very long. A little bit on the average side. Barely any noticeable roasted scent, and mostly just a sweet smell. Tastes a bit of figs and molasses. Very sweet, almost too sweet. Mouth-feel is better than the taste, minus the sweetness that sticks around to the inside of your mouth and the corners of the lips. Smooth, with a hint of carbonation. Pretty drinkable. More so than if it was closer to an American stout. The lack of roasted flavor makes this a fairly quaffable beverage.

Sten (396) - Westerlo, BELGIUM - DEC 19, 2010
Black beer with a fast diminishing white head. Aroma is roasted malt, caramel and chocolade. Sweet chocolade taste. Not bad. (Bottle 25cl)

Parket (521) - Bruges, BELGIUM - NOV 4, 2010
bottle, black coloured with foamy beige head. Smell: sugary. Taste: very sweet, dark sugar, dark fruits, roasted malts and some yeasty flavour. This one tastes a bit like a table beer, is easy drinking but far too sweet for me.
