Thanks to Jerre for the trade!
Clear dark brown to black beer, big creamy beige head, little stable, adhesive, leaving a nice lacing in the glass. Aroma: sweet, lots of dried fruits, alcohol, dried cherries, hint of chocolate, roasted, bit malty. MF: ok carbon, medium body. Taste: soft roast, bit sweet, alcohol noticeable, some chocolate, bitter touch. Aftertaste: bit hoppy, mocha, milk chocolate, some dried fruits, ginger bread, vanilla, alcohol. More of a quad than a stout, if you ask me. Nice one, though!

“Bière artisanale Tournisienne” made by a to me hitherto unknown brewpub in Tournai; my specimen says lot 2017/034 so I guess it’s roughly about a year old (?). Thick and dense, foamy, lightly membrane-like lacing, yellowish pale beige head over dark bronze, hazy beer with burgundy hue, blackish in general appearance. Aroma of old walnut shells, coffee grounds (especially when warming up), dried prunes, burnt sugar, liquorice candy, caramel, elderberries, some light ‘pipe’ iron and hints of bubblegum, candied cherries, ‘cuberdons’ and soap. Sweet onset, impressions of old raisins and fresh red apple, touch banana or bubblegum, fizzy carb but still full, rounded, tad glueish mouthfeel; caramelly and brown-bready maltiness, bit nutty and vaguely chocolatey with a thin metallic edge somewhere, ongoing fruity notes, toasty bitterish tail with, in the background, a retronasal coffee powder accent and a dash of liquorice, which becomes more pronounced in the finish. Ends with a somewhat powdery and lightly earthy yeastiness, deep nuttiness with a toasty bitterish edge but softly so, lingering sweetness (yet nowhere cloying) and warming, port-like alcohol. "Stout” only in a very Belgian way, think of Hercule and the like – looking back at a time when Anglo-Saxon craft beer influences were still absent and ‘stout’ had become a rarity in Belgian beer culture. The few that were made back then, were either extremely obsolete English-inspired sweet stouts or ‘stoutish’ dubbels – this one belongs in the latter category. Not bad as such, but I wouldn’t plan a trip to Tournai just for this.
