Draught @ Maximus (8% ABV on the blackboard). Deep dark brown color, not quite black. Rocky beige head. Aroma's sweetish, drop, umami. Retronasal it's sweetish, droppy, some red fruit, roasted. Flavor is moderate sweet, umami/drop. Medium bodied. Finishes with drop, moderate bitter. On the sweet side, but quite nice.

Sampled from tap at Bierfestival Groningen 2016. Very dark red to black with a tan head. Sweetish-malty, roasty aroma of coffee, dark chocolate and licorice. Sweetish-malty, slightly roasty taste of caramel, dark chocolate, some coffee and hints of raisins, followed by a short, slightly roasty-bitter finish. Thin to medium body, slightly effervescent mouthfeel, soft carbonation. Nice!

Tap @ Maximus, large sample. Hazy dark brown color, medium creamy head. Aroma of roast, some coffee, bit fruity, slight biscuit. Didnt notice any smoked components, more of a hoppy stout/porter. Soft bitterness, bit roasty, some sweet cookie. Velvety body, soft carbonation. Lovely stuff from tap. Like I mentioned before, a more hoppy stout.

(Draught at De Drie Dorstige Herten, Utrecht, 18 Feb 2016) Black colour with dense, beige head. Malty, roasted nose with notes of dark chocolate, coffee and cacao. Malty, roasted taste with dark chocolate, coffee, cacao, black rye bread and a generous cacao bitterness. More than medium body, with a touch of sweetness. Tasty and really well balanced porter. Very nice.
