Bottled. Dark color, short head. Aroma of coffee, biscuit, chocolate, flowery and citrussy hop, bit spicy. Bit dry, bit sweet in taste, medium bitter. Easy drinker, lots of flavor. Good stuff.

Ladna etykieta z fotokrafia czarnej kobiety, a wlasciwie twarzy. Piwo tez czarne i prawie nie przezroczyste, tylko z malenkim czerwonawym przeswitem. Piany za to brak, jak na stouta powinno byc jej sporo, kolory brazowego i jest gruboziarnista. Jesli chodzi o zapach to Citra na pierwszym planie dominuje i przytlacza palonosc tego stouta, niby w stylu Angielskim, hmm z chmielem amerykanskim, alkohol na poziomie brytyjskim. To lekki stout z niewyczuwalna palonoscia ktora tak lubie w stoutach. Bardziiej przypominalo mi Black IPA niz stouta angielskiego. Lubie za aromatycznosc ale przesadzono tu chyba z tymi chmielami, powinna byc jakas rownowaga miedzy palonoscia stoutu a smakiem chmielu. Lekkie rozczarowanie.

zwart met schuimige bruine kraag aroma is zeer beperkt of het komt doordat er nasale verstoppingen zijn smaken: licht zoet, redelijk bitter, licht zuur, zwakke body, dun van textuur, laag co2. ??? weer zo’n dunne waterige Belgische stout, alles is weer op lichte basis, koffie, geroosterde mout, zuurtje, blijkbaar zijn er liefhebbers van dit lichte genre op ratebeer, maar ik mag hem graag wat voller/sterker. vandaar mijn ’lagere’ dan gemiddelde waardering

Vacation 2013 @ Virton, Belgium. 75 cl. bottle @ the bungalow, bought @ the local Delhaize supermarket.

Black with a dense tan head. Roasted malts and citrus hops aroma and taste. Good bitterness and a good strong mouthfeel considering its low ABV. Nice stout!

Draught @ Gastropub Tuulensuu

Pours pitch black with a thick brown head. Aroma of roasted malts, hints of citrus and grassy hops. Taste is roasty, faintly fruity and bitter with notes of coffee. Finish is smooth, slightly roasty and lingering bitter with hints of fruitiness. Light, slightly hoppy stout.

Aroma is sweetish with roasted notes, fruit candy, some urinal cake and hints of tobacco. Flavour is a bit unusual with hops, some gooseberry bush, urinal cake (maybe even some urea!) and roasted notes. Lactic notes at the end of the glass. A Belgian sour(ish) stout with extra hops. Unusual but good.

Very stable, dense, nearly solid cream-coloured head, leaving shards of lace over deep dark brown beer with orange reflections. Aromatic hoppy nose, with hops that are clearly anything but English, as suggested by the label. Roasted notes too, evidently. Aromas are seriously hampered by the quasi solidifying head. Bitter, roasted, weak coffee, galls/ink. Not very refined. Hints at roasted malts essentialy retronasal getting also a tad peppery. Maybe medium bodied; velvety head, slightly creamy MF overall. "Bland" might be too harsh, "plain" certainly isn’t. Comparing this to the Lion à Plume stout....
