Almost black bodied, with an enormous head that generates brown floaties. Stroopsoldaatjes (Dutch carmael and butter candy)... Rich sweet toffee, caramel, dried figs, coffee beans, palm sugar and a hint of alcohol. Sweet, full taste, with a proper bitterness at the back. Oily mouth feel, with some fruity notes. A proper dessert beer! Well made. (33cl bottle, fairly priced)

Draft @ PWBF’11: Light brown vast foamy lacing on top of a black beer. Smell hops, yellow fruits, malt, fish and spices. Taste is a fresh mix of yellow fruit, light sweet, light liquorice, malts, caramel and spices. Low carbo, full body and soft mouthfeel. Impressive.

Huge dense mocha head over dark brown body. The head is so thick it looks like melted ice cream and rises a good two centimeters above the rim of the glass. Aroma of coffee, chocolate, liquorish, very rich. Taste of very dark coffee, bitter chocolate, some sort of liquor, dry roast. Palate is very dry and roasty.

Served at room temp. Medium body, dark brown with tan head. Tastes of chocolate, licorice, and coffee. Tried at the Nederlandse Bierweek openingsfestival with Paul, Dave, and Erol.

33cl. Bottle. Poors black with strong cream head. Aroma is malts, roasted, coffee, caramel, sugar, choco. Taste a good bitter, sweet, coffee, choco. Mouth-feel thin, bit creamy. What an awesome beer, great coffee taste amazing.

Bottle. Pours pitch black with a brown head. Aroma is big chocolate, coffee, some red fruit and some roast. Taste is more coffee and roast with a long aftertaste of chocolate, alcohol and roast. Medium body and carbo. Would be even better with a bit more body, but overall a very nice beer.
