Bottle as a gift. Brown colour, beige foam. Not a lot of aroma, malty, light roasty, some chocolate, some fruitiness. A boring beer without a lot of aroma / taste. There are way better beers to pair with chocolate than this one.

Sample at ISM-International Sußware Messe. Amber beer, small head. Aroma is some chocolate and malt. average malty sweet beer that actually gets better with chocolate, but it was rather dull

Bottle from Valentino, Ninove. Pours clear amber with a small, frothy, off-white head; little lacing. Aroma of caramel, almond, peach, grass, herbs, hint of iron, peanut, red grapes. It tastes medium malty sweet, hint of marzipan, and light spicy bitter, a bit herbal & yeasty, hint of bread & iron. Dryish, herbal & grassy hoppy finish, lingering yeast. Medium body, slick texture, lively carbonation.
Paired with a dark Hop Ganache: fruity taste, hint of caramel, a bit hoppy with a very light sour touch (berry), more 'dark', towards a Dubbel. With a milk chocolate Pecan praline: nutty, of course, sourish. With a milk chocolate Crème Brûlée praline: outspokenly malty, caramel & creamy, a bit of iron. Fun to try once, though the beer itself is not really worthwhile, and I find pairing a bit unwieldy...

Thick yellowish head, irregular and reasonably stable over fully hazy, corroded-copper coloured beer. Spices, (toasted) grains, and already some chocolate in the nose, yeast. Outspokenly yeasty, with lots of esters, quite sweetish with very restrained bitter, spices, bit of iron. Spiciness conveyed by the yeast, doubtless. Quite spritzy carbonation, medium bodied at best, quite slick. Better than the sum of its parts. Seen its expressed purpose, I did the test - sip, melt some dark chocolate in the mouth, rince with another sip - even when I’m not very much into this kind of pairing.The result is peculiar. I conveys an other grains taste to the beer, oxydized that is familiar to some beers, but that I don’t particulary favour. With real bitter chocolate, the beer reverts to its natural acidity from CO² and mashaddition. 6/4/6/3/14
