On tap at Gollem II, sold to me as St. Feuillien Printemps, ABV 6.5%. I asked the bartender and he told me all his kegs of Printemps were filled with this almost black beer.. So either it’s a new recipe, or it’s this beer. For now, I’ll rate it here. As said, almost black, light-beige head. Aroma of roasted malts, soft liquorice, toffee, all soft and a bit muted. Flavour is light to medium-sweet, liquorice, toffee, roasted malts, some coffee, dry, light bitter finish. Light-bodied. Certainly not as sweet as expected from St. Feuillien. Nice surprise.

Bottle. Dark brown color with a mediun thin beige head. Aroma of syrup and rye. Flavors are rye and roasted malt. Medium body. Dry texture.

Pours brown with a beige head. Aroma is roasted caramel, flower, perfume and elderflower. Flavour is roasted malt, flower, liquorish and light perfume.

Bottle, bought @ Delirium Hoppy Loft.
Pours almost completely black with slight chestnut edges. Lovely creamy, light-beige head. Aroma has coffee, nuts, light roasted malts. Medium carbonation, lovely dry and quite light mouthfeel. Flavour is light sweet, coffee-notes, nuts, light liqourice, mild black pepper. Really elegant beer.

.33l bottle @ Vihreä Haltiatar Pours dark reddish brown, almost black with high head. Aroma is coffee, fruits, malts and salted liquorice. Flavor is same actually.

Bottle from Beer Planet, Brussels. Pours a deep brown body with a huge eggshell-hued head. Nose is licorice, saison yeast tones, chocolate and hints of dark berries. Taste is huge licorice tones, ashes, anisseed, hints of burnt toast and light straw notes. High carbonation and extremy watery body. Ok, but a bit too clean and lacking body, for some reason.

330 ml bottle. Pours a dark brown with medium head. Aromas of licorice, citrus, and roasted malts Flavors of sweet light chocolate, fruit/prunes, and light grapefruit.

Dark brown, foam disappears quickly. Lively carbonation. Strange mix between saison and porter. Herbs and hops, roasted malts and notes of coffee. Nice beer.

A colabrown beer with a very big, light brown head. Aroma is weird but in a good sense, fruits and spices, strong liquirice, roastiness, herbs and lots of mint. Taste is strongly bitter, roasted, some liquirice, herbs and mint. Medium bodied, high carbonation. Unique mix of fruits and dominating roastiness with herbal mint.

Black with beige creamy head, good lacing. Strong aroma is interesting: anise, eucalyptus,salty licorice, medical herbs, bit flowery notes. Fizzy, light feel, crisp carbonation, sweet with strong herbal feel, tasty finish. Interesting tasty and nuanced saison.
