Bottle sourced from Saveur-Bière and drunk at home (14/03/2022) - pours near black with a off white head. Mix of dark malts, dark dried fruit shred, with notes of caramel and fudge giving some sweetness but tart tangy cherry prevailing vibes coming through, Belgian yeast esters, dark fruity finish. Ok.

Bottle from Geers. Hazy dark brown to black, small, frothy, tan head. Aroma of raisin, fig, ripe plum, dried banana, toffee, toast, jam. Taste has sweet prune, fig & raisin, sourish brambleberry over toasty & toffee-like maltiness. Herbal hoppy finish that is slightly roasted, with dried fruits and softly warming liqueur-like alcohol. Medium body, slick texture, average carbonation. Nice one, atypically Belgian too I'd say.

Bottle at home in Hackney - sourced from Beautiful Beers. Pours clear black-brown with a frothy, khaki head. Lightly sweet with notes of subtly tangy dark fruits, light roast, earth, Belgian yeast, raisins, leather. Medium bodied with active, massaging carbonation. Only mild warmth in the finish, some lightly ashy roast, earth, dried berries. Interesting stuff. Alright overall.

0,33 bottle. Clever, cheerful label. Very nice deep reddish chestnut color, huge light brown head. Aroma: caramel, sweet, dried fruit, roasted, coffee complex. Sweet, caramel sip, carbonation stinging. Strong coffee in the aftertaste. Medium-bodied, slightly tart, reminds me of sour berries. Slightly dry. Quite a serious little beer. This is what I imagined an Imperial porter to be like... Alcohol is felt, it would be good in a cold port :)

Ötletes, vidám címke. Nagyon szép mély vöröses gesztenyebarna szín, hatalmas világosbarna hab. Aroma: karamell, édeskés, aszalt gyümölcsös, mellette pörköltes, kávés komplex. Édes, karamelles korty, szénsav szúrós. Utóízben erősen kávés. Közepesen testes, kissé fanyar, savanyú bogyós gyümölcsöket juttat eszembe. Kissé száraz. Elég komoly kis sör. Ilyennek képzeltem egy ipmerial portert... Alkohol érződik, jól eshet egy hideg kikötőben :)

33 cl bottle. Dark brown, creamy foam. Aroma: caramelly, esters, sweet molasses, wine, a little honey, dried fruits, not bad. Taste sweetish, malty, but with sourness, dried fruits, wine, light, not bad.

Appearance: Very dark brown, near black. Some fizzy tan head. Aroma: Roasted, dark malt. Some burnt bitterness. Taste: Dark malt, roasted, some dry dark fruits. Dry end. Bought: Halle aux Boissons (Granges-Paccot), 330 ml, CHF 2.70 Info: 14/9-2019, BB: 28/2-2022

High carbonation. Smells weirdly vinous and yogurty. Taste is pretty weird too, something caramelly and something lightly acidic. Licorice, dusty, bit of roast, still something yoghurty. Not what I was expecting, but not very unpleasant. Doesn't linger.
