Buffalo Belgian Stout is een echte stout: donkerbruin en voorzien van een crèmekleurig schuimlaagje. De geur varieert van kruidig, over biscuit en alcoholzoet naar fruit. De smaak van dit bier van 9% abv verhoudt zich mooi tussen zoet en koffiebitter. De afdronk houdt vast aan koffietoetsen en vloeit zoet uit.

Pour is a black with a large white head. Aroma is dark malt and chocolate but then comes the Belgian yeast and some barnyard. Flavor is lots of barnyard and Belgain yeast with just the right amount of cocoa and toasted malts. Some one below called this a farmhouse stout and i could not agree more. A very different rep of the style with the Belgain yeast.

750 ml bottle; bb ? (rather illegible, could be 05). The last bottle in Ledger’s, so it may be aged!) Aroma of dark plummy fruit, darkish malt, anise, yeast/spice. Very dark brown color with a ringed head. Thin in body, near creamy in carbonation. Dark toasted malts, sweetness, peppery spice, touch of anise, perhaps some chocolate. Very smooth, very clean. Not your typical burnt stout. Finish is rather dry with pepper notes. Not a trace of heat. Very good, very different, drink.

Bottle. Dark brown with a tan head. Molasses, malt, and slight fig aroma. Rich malt flavor - slight roast and slight chocolate, but more caramel, molasses, and a bit of smoke. LIngering malty sweetness. Body is both thin and rich at the same time (but we’ll call it a bit weak and is the main thing that takes away from the overall enjoyability).

750 ml bottle, from Country Club Liquors; Nose of light spices, and monor chocolate notes; clear dark brown with a huge, glass lacing, very long lasting beige head; flavor of milky chocolate, spices, and some light hop bitterness. Not like american or English stouts, kind of a mix of a dubbel and a little stout. Would make a nice light session brew except for the 9%ABV!

This is good. Kind of a fusion style. Dry roasted malt, but also sour brett character in the aroma. Flavor is a little sour as well with light chocolate as well as a light oatmeal stout flavor. Very smooth and easy to drink; the high abv sneaked up on me.

750ml bottle. Dark red/brown body with a beige head. Aroma of sweet caramel malt. Flavor is sweet malt, caramel, roasted, coffee and chocolate. This beer doesn’t remind me of a stout at all, but it’s still quite nice. Maybe a bit unbalanced.

Poured from the 0.75L darkish brown with frothy tan head. Initially the aroma is figs and raisins. As it warms it becomes even fruitier. Not very stout like. The taste starts with lots of carbonation for a “stout” that causes an explosion of dark fruit flavors like dates, figs, raisins and tart grapes. Then I get coriander and a hint of cinnamon almost midway. Beyond that are faint notes of molasses and roasted malts that show up to put on a brief sense of a stout flavor. But not really. At the finish I’m left with tingling residual carbonation, fig and prune fruitiness and an ever so slight roasted maltiness, possibly chocolate. This brew is much more Belgian Ale than Stout.

Bottled at the Belgian Embassy in Oslo. (75cl corked) A clear, dark brown beer with a nice beige head. Quite neutral aroma, with some caramel and spices. Sweet, lightly burnt flavor with caramel and some hops. Medium to full body and a finish with hops and caramel. A quite special stout, but it didn’t convince me. (070103)

On tap at the Pianeta Birra, Rimini, Italy.
Pours a dark brown almost black colour with medium sized beige head that went away very slowly. Slight roasted malty and mild dried fruit aroma with notes of toffee and milk chocolate. Alcohol is well hidden, but there’s too pronounced sugar in the finish.
