0.33 l bottle from ’De Bierkoning’, vintage 2012, bottled in September 2014. Pitch black with a medium large, frothy, almost stable, brown head. Sweetish-malty, a little fruity and slightly roasty aroma of dark chocolate, red fruits, vanilla and oak. Sweet-malty, moderately roasty and slightly fruity taste of dark chocolate, some coffee, vanilla, oak and red fruits, followed by a long, slightly roasty-bitter, warming and slightly boozy finish. Medium to full body, creamy, slightly oily and a little sticky mouthfeel, flat. Well-balanced, quite complex, rather intense and very tasty, maybe a tad too sweet. Lovely stuff!
