330ml bottle. Darkest brown colour with weak ruby shimmer and average, frothy, slowly osteoporosing, moderately lacing, tan head. Roasty, minimally grainy, oaty, malty aroma, a minimally lactic touch, some cocoa. Taste is bitter, roasty, dark malty, minimally oaty and lactic, hints of cocoa, dry cocoa.
Watery texture, slightly dry, almost a tad astringent palate, medium, prickly carbonation.
Disharmonious, heterogeneous, watery - not my cup of tea.

0.33 l bottle from 'Ace Drinks', best before March 2020. Clear, very dark ruby to black with a medium large, frothy, almost stable, beige head. Sweetish-malty, hardly roasty and gently fruity aroma of raisins, prunes and caramel. Quite sweet, malty, moderately roasty and slightly fruity taste of caramel, coffee, cocoa and dark fruits, followed by a short, gently roasty-bitter, slightly earthy-dry finish. Medium body, smooth and gently effervescent mouthfeel, average carbonation. Pleasant Stout, could have a bit more roast.

Very huge, pitting-in beige head slightly irregular, over deep dark cola-coloured beer. Roasted, roasted grains nose, sweet dark caramel, hints at warm (wholemeal) breadcrust, leaves or holly, bit gassy, and finally iron, ironoxyde. Faintly, but clearly, mineral component. Dry roast with a sweeter maltunderbuild, and finishing burnt-bitterish, at least at first. It's the head that contains the iron... how? Makes me always suspicious. Gradually, I get hay-like flavours overcoming the roast, that is in fact not very heavy-handed, and finally nearly fruity, near vinous yeast hints. Medium bodied, bit sticky, chewy; good carbonation. Aftertaste is lacking a tad in boldness. Acceptable stout, if not very Irish in interpretation. I can live with this, even if, given blindly, I would have guessed a top-fermented attempt at Dunkelbock. The most strange thing, however, is that with a bit more acidity, it would not get more stout-ish, but nearing cola...

Bottle from Benzai in Euro Swap #1. Pours very dark brown with a lasting egg shell white head. Dry, roasted with rye bread, some bitter chocolate, a touch of iron, touch of vanilla, also lightly smoked ham on the nose. Dry, bitter, roasty finish. Good enough.

Fles gekregen van Inoven. Thuis geprobeerd met LiekevdV. Het is een donkerbruin bier met een beige schuim. Het heeft een aroma van gebrande mout en koffie. De smaak is gebrand en chocolade achtig. Het lijkt wat stroperig op de lippen.

Flesje gedeeld door Benzai. Diep donkerbruin helder bier met beige schuim. Aroma van gebrande mout en koffie. Smaak van koffie, droge mout, chocolade. Chocolade smaak blijft even hangen voor de rest ebt de smaak snel weg.

Bottle @ home shared with Inoven. Almost completely unclear dark brown color, medium sized beige / tan head that lasts for a decent while and leaves fair lacing. Aroma is malts, a bit dry and earthy. Flavor is similar at first take: malts, dry, earthy dark malts. Dark malt bitter with a slight distant hint of cocoa powder. Quite nice.

Stout brewed by a Belgian hobby brewer in Dutch Clinge (a few miles from where I live), commercialized through Vermeersen in nearby Hulst and first and foremost aimed at barbershops - an ever more common phenomenon now that growing a full beard is 'en vogue' again for men... Bottle shared by tderoeck, cheers! Thick and frothy, foamy, thickly papery lacing, well-retaining, pale greyish beige head over a deeply caramel bronze beer with burgundy hue, dark but still fully translucent, hazy. Aroma of caramel candy, moldy hazelnuts, fermenting tree leaves, stewed plums, liquorice, sugared tea, banana, beetroot, leather. Fruity, estery onset, plum and banana with a touch of fig, sweet due to residual sugars, sourish undercurrent, softish carbo, slick and smooth mouthfeel. Caramelly and toffeeish malt sweetishness, bit bready also due to yeastiness, lingering sugariness in the finish, nutty and a tad toasted but certainly not roasted bitter as one would expect from a stout, herbal hop bitterishness, spicy phenols, lingering caramel malt sweetness. Not a bad beer per se, but by no means an Irish dry stout - not even a real stout for me, in carrying too much Belgian yeastiness and sugariness as well as lacking in roastedness. This is not a stout but a dubbel - and not even one that is completely free of flaws - it will take a lot of work and re-designing to turn this into an actual dry stout...

8/IX/17 - 33cl bottle, shared @ home with Alengrin - BB: n/a (WTF?) (2017-1483) Thanks to Bart for the bottle!
Clear dark brown beer, small creamy beige head, little stable, bit adhesive. Aroma: malty, soft roast, lots and lots of banana, yeast profile. MF: very lively carbon, medium body. Taste: sweet, caramel, sugary, lots of banana, soft bitterness, bit sourish, no roast. Aftertaste: very gentle roast, hardly noticeable, bit hoppy, some coffee and caramel, banana and yeast. Way too much Belgian yeast in this beer, together with the lack of a decent amount of roasted malts, makes more of a Belgian dubbel than a stout. By no means could this be classified as a stout... not even a sweet stout or something similar.
