Bottle @ Bier Central, Antwerpen. Black body under a moderate sized beige head. Kinda complex in aroma, dark malt, dry fruit, cocoa powder and quite camouflaged alcohol. Taste is medium sweet, dark mat, mild chocolate flavour, a bit more alcohol than expected from aroma and some kind of undefined ‘medical’ something. Not bad, not fantastic but easy drinkable and a bit odd.

Bottle, at Bier Central. Quite dry, roasted and lightly burnt. Flavor of cellar and dark dried fruit. Not too sweet. Well... A decent beer, but it feels a bit messy. 647413 251107

Zwart bier met weinig schuim. Smaak is krachtig met een klein zuurtje en iets van gebrand gaan en noten.
