UPDATED: MAY 30, 2024 Pours a black colour. Taste is liqourice, caramelised sugar, Belgian yeast, dark roasted malts. It's very complex and unmistakeaby Belgian. I would definately have this again.

UPDATED: MAY 13, 2024 Bottle at 1900 Art Cafe. Med-thin body, medium carbonation. ABV hidden well. Nice solid roasty base, with a hint of smoke, ashy, tobacco. I do not get much belgiany presence, only a hint. Easy drinking, quite good.

UPDATED: MAR 9, 2024 Draught at Monk's: pours black with beige head. Aroma is chocolatey, slight coffee, soya, and hints of Belgian yeast. Taste is relatively dry, chocolatey, not bitter. Solid.

UPDATED: FEB 18, 2024 Bottle 330 ml at Quinns ( Camden). 17.2.24. Appearance, near black with an off white Head. Mouthfeel is medium plus. Aroma of roasted malts, slight raisins. Taste is of dark malts with a touch of dried fruits. Overall good.

UPDATED: MAY 24, 2023 Aroma : Rich chocolate maltiness, some dried dark fruits, old stewed coffee, a little oaky woodiness & earthy. Smells fantastic. Taste : Body slightly less than full. Rich smooth texture; doesn't have any alcohol burn that brews of this high ABV can sometimes have. Moderate to strong roasty bitterness upfront, with a ting of sweet malts later on. Flavours all as aroma. The finish is drying. Excellent!

UPDATED: FEB 3, 2023 In eerste aanzet is deze stout tamelijk droog met elementen van het eikenhout, hop, gerst. Dan is ook een mooie hartige Belgischgistlaag te ontwaren. In de afdronk zit een licht zoetje, dat dit grensgeval strong ale-stout wel kon gebruiken. Heel eigenzinnig, en prima gebrouwen. Aroma is licht, met de gist. Doet zwaar aan voor 9%.

UPDATED: JAN 21, 2023 Bottle from Dranken Verheyen in Poppel, Belgium. The beer is black colored with cream colored head. Carbonation is good.

The taste is medium to full bodied and light sweet with caramel, roasted malts and dried fruits and goes to bitter and dry with chocolate, coffee and spices. The finish is dry and bitter with coffee and chocolate.

UPDATED: NOV 17, 2022 Dark brown beer with a beige head. Aroma is chocolate, toasted malt Tastes like coffee, some chocolate, roasted malts, nuts. Low carbon ratio, medium body. A good mix of a Belgian strong and an imperial stout. Nice.

UPDATED: NOV 9, 2022 Helt svart. Doften lätt syrlig, fruktig. Smak av torkad mörk frukt o kryddor. Avslutar med tydlig beska o utan balanserande sötma. Stilmässigt i gränstrakten mellan stout o mörk belgisk strong ale, utan den markerade brända malten hos den förstnämnda o utan sötman hos den senare. Speciellt o gott.

UPDATED: MAY 6, 2022 Creamy tan head on unknown body - proper pot glass. Medium to full bodied, smooth & clean. Liquorice, roasted, nutty & boozy tastes with a fruity finish. That's a tasty stout.
