Bottle, Waagstuck, Antwerp, Belgium, 06-10-06. Dark brown in colour with an off white creamy head. Some caramel, nuts and fruits detected in the aroma, taste was quite rich and fairly smooth some powerful dark rich fruitiness detected as was a hint of chocolate amongst the pleasant maltiness. Really enjoyed this beer.

Ruby with an off-white head. Malt and licorice in an aroma that is a bit perfumed. Very sweet, but reasonably balanced flavour.

Bottle at t’Waagstak in Antwerp. First beer of the day in this excellent bar in the corner of a square in Antwerp. Very dark reddish brown colour with thick beige head. Intense bruin aroma, some dark fruit. Blackberry/currants, dark choc and dark cherry. More dark fruit in mouth leading to a dry finish. Big on fruits, but enough malt structure to carry it off. I really like this

First version brewed at De Proef: 7/4/7/3/15 Brewed for the "Stadswaag" in Antwerpen, a nice square (now with lots of pubs) which was once the target of a bomb, dropped by a Zeppelin. Nearly black, but with red-brown shine. Very ample, yellow-brown head. Nose of roasted walnuts, coffee, celery. Sourish taste from the roasted barley, nearly vegetable-fruity. Roasted malt/barley, very few restsugars. Restrained bitterness. Retronasal quite some liquorice. Medium-bodied, strange, as the beer gives a strong stout impression. Slight burning sensation; long roasted aftertaste. A remarkable beer, but it ages fast. A younger sample would have Guinness, Rochefort and even Westvleteren notes. This, slightly older, ventures into Flemish brown territory. Guinness Foreign Extra Stout the Belgian way? Second version by Van Steenberge (notes as above) Amber to cardinal red; huge yellowish-amber, dense head, very stable. Sweet vinous nose, fruity, "Mon Chéri" bonbons, portwine, some faraway, sweet malts. Sweet, vinous taste with a distinct roasted tang. Figs’ flavour, some hidden chocolate hints. Extremely thick, viscous beer, creamy, velvety MF, alcohol obvious. Much sweeter than the Proef version. I would be tempted to say "less complex", but in truth, the complexity is on another level. A more sweet one, sadly.
