The Black Corne has an ebony black color. It tastes like bitter chocolate, roasted coffee with a hint of acidity. A surprising beer that no one can resist!

Bottle, 0.33l. Murky brown/black pour, two finger creamy beige head. Long lasting, very good retention. Thick lacing on the glass as it goes down. Lots of cocoa and chocolate on the nose, fruity background. Thin to medium body, surprisingly. Kinda hoped for it to be a bit fuller. Medium to high carbonation. Light texture, easily drinkable. Somewhat fizzy mouthfeel. Roasty bittersweet taste. Aroma is fine. Watered down, yes, but fine nonetheless. Strongly on the malt side as expected. Caramel, roasted, cocoa. Toffee, dark fruits, mild sour notes. Notable bitterness throughout the aftertaste at the bottom of the tongue, mild metal presence. Slight stickiness, a bit dry. Medium lasting finish. Overall, it's fine but unremarkable. A bit too light and watery for the style.

Bottled 330ml. -from Pivoteka Zagreb. Almost black coloured, medium sized airy beige head, dusty caramel and dried fruits in the nose. Moderate malty, caramel, dried fruits, and heavy carbonation with light spicy yeasty notes. Rather ordinary.

Cette Corne du Bois du Pendu Black est beaucoup trop hétérogène et fouillie pour être réellement appréciable. En verre, c'est plutôt joli : robe totalement noire surmontée d'une mousse brune de 5 mm. Au nez, 2 dimensions se superposent. En avant, les arômes de fruits avec raisin, figue et mûre, et en arrière-plan les arômes de malts torréfiés : caramel, pain grillé et pointe de chocolat. A l'attaque, c'est une petite acidité que je trouve peu à propos qui apparaît mais conférant une certaine fraîcheur (l'amertume étant limitée avec 25 d'IBU), accompagnant les arômes fruités. Ce n'est que dans un second temps que les arômes maltés apparaissent avec caramel, chocolat et noisette. L'acidité augmente alors d'un cran sur la seconde bouche, déstabilisant de trop l'ensemble. Heureusement, l’arrière bouche est plus stable, sur une amertume herbacée, le caramel et un alcool se faisant légèrement ressentir. Le final, moyennement long, est quant à lui davantage sur le malt grillé avec chocolat, caramel et noisette grillée. Le sucre est relativement peu présent, la texture fine et la corpulence médiocre. L'alcool à 8 %, a de son côté du mal à s'imposer...brouillon tout cela.

Bottle. Color: Black, frothy very light brown head, nice lacing. Aroma: Dark malt, notes of chocolate. Taste: Pretty sweet dark malt, moderate bitterness, notes of chocolate and hints of red fruit, fudge and black coffee. Medium body, average carbonation. Easy drinkable, ok, but lacking some body and complexity.

Flaska från belgiuminabox. Söt doft med mörk torkad frukt, honungskaka, choklad, mörk karamell, butterscotch, kaffe. Stor mjuk och rund kropp med en hel del kolsyra som mörka belgare brukar ha, söt smakbild med fruktkaka, kaffelikör, mörka plommon och söta chokladpraliner men med torrare avslutning där lite kaffe, aska, plommonkärnor och mörkare, dock inte besk choklad kommer fram. Gott.
