UPDATED: AUG 2, 2020 Very dark brown ale, oily, thin head. Aromas of dark chocolate, caramel, red fruits and liquorice. Roasted notes. Heavy. The taste has similar flavours. The dark chocolate is more pronounced. Mild, roasted caramel sweetness. Some earthy, ashy notes as well. Mildly hoppy. Quite complex, but very well balanced. Great dark ale.

UPDATED: JUL 4, 2020 330ml bottle at Cafe Gollem, Amsterdam on 13/12/2009. One of my favourites; the whole selection of Pannepots. This one is no exception. Supremely complex and incredibly moreish.

UPDATED: MAY 25, 2020 A 10 year old bottle brewed at Decca. The beer was smooth, venous, coffee grounds, elder berries. It smells like Christmas. Warming on the finish. The last gulp, some 90 minutes after opening was like a smooth chocolate liqueur.

UPDATED: APR 10, 2020 Aromat: melasa, ciemne owoce, beljgiskie drożdże, jakaś ciasteczkowość, wiśnia. W smaku ciemne owoce, wiśnia, czekolada, karmel, trochę drewna, na finiszu kwaskowy winny posmak. Nasycenie dość niskie jak na belga, ciało na średnim poziomie. Bardzo fajny dark ale.

UPDATED: DEC 13, 2019 2013. Sort, ikke meget skum. Mørk rund fyldig duft. Smager meget mild, lidt lakrids/kaffe dæmpet, fyldig, skjuler de 10 % meget godt. Lækker øl

UPDATED: OCT 15, 2019 Ależ to piwo jest złożone! W aromacie śliwki, kawa, lukrecja... W smaku dosyć wytrawne, lekko kwaskowe, bardzo skomplikowane ale świetnie zbalansowane. Alkohol niewyczuwalny, wysycenie wysokie, przy otwarciu piwo wychodzi z butelki ale na szczęście bez fontanny. Świetne piwko.

UPDATED: SEP 18, 2019 2016 vs 2013 bottle, courtesy of SinH4. Pours dark brown with a lively head. Aroma is dried prunes, dark fruit, fig, hints of booze. Body is heavy, but not too dense or oily, rather drinkable texture actually. Rich and intense, hints of booze, far from overdone though. Fruity, in a dark Belgian way. The 2013 already has a much weaker body and is oxidized. Very good!

UPDATED: SEP 7, 2019 Zwart bier met beperkte Mokka schuimkraag. Koffie, gezoete aanzet met licht zurige afdronk.
