On tap at Nanobrasserie L’Ermitage, Brussels on 10th January 2020. Sepia black with tan foam and virtually no lacing. Rich and intense roast malt aroma of fresh coffee and cherry fruits. Intensely roasty in-mouth with a full spectrum of coffee, cherry and chocolate flavours. Bitter in the upper mouth. A satisfying, roasty finish, of long duration. Some fiery spices. A fair amount of body and an engaging texture. Stunning.

On tap at l'Ermitage, pours black with a large tan head. Aroma brings out medium roast, with some spices, and earthy notes. Flavour is roasted and spicy, with medium roast, Christmas tree spices, and earthy notes. Not a whole lot of depth, but there is complexity and plenty of intermingling elements. Fun stuff for what it is.

Stout with cherries, from tap at L'Ermitage. Coarse and irregular, bubbly, greyish beige, opening head, slowly dissolving over a black beer with misty chestnut brown edges. Aroma of burnt toast, toasted walnuts, bitter chocolate, indeed black cherries piercing through, charcoal, chicory, pipe tobacco, dry tree leaves, blood-like iron. Sweetish onset but nowhere sticky, fig and blackberry notes as well as the expected cherries but these add more sourness than sweetness, and even in that respect remain quite subtle; fizzy, bit stinging carbonation, accentuating this sourish aspect. Bitter chocolatey and strongly bitter-roasted maltiness, smooth, roasted chicory and coffee grounds in the end, bit ashy even with a light metallic touch; the roasted bitterness lingers along with this sourish cherry touch. Very dry stout in fact, I was expected either more fruit acidity or more fruit sweetness but the cherry effect, though certainly present, remains quite subtle - luckily perhaps, as fruit stouts usually do not quite do it for me unless perfectly executed. This one is a very roasty and somewhat ashy one and I doubt if more cherry would be a positive thing in such a flavour environment. Overcarbonated too, making it feel lighter than it is, but altogether tasty. Curious what this tastes like from a bottle.

Bouteille 33cl, BB 05/12/2019. Brune, col moyen crémeux café au lait. Arôme offre de belles effluves de malt dont pas mal de grillé, chocolaté, petite pointe terreuse. L'ajout de griotte se prête fort bien au côté plus chocolaté mais reste très modeste dans son apport. Retrouve une petite base de Noire du Midi. Palais est malté tirant presque plus sur un effet rustique sec au niveau de la bouche avec un apport plaisant de malt grillé, cara, un peu pâle tirant sur une impression anglaise. Impression de grains concassés, poudreux avec un café amer. D'ailleurs cette amertume oscille sur un léger houblonné agrumes et fleuri. Les cerises ne sont pas vraiment aussi prononcées qu'attendu, c'est en effet le malté plutôt sec et poussiéreux qui domine.
