Malzig würziger, deutlich oxidierter Antrunk. Dunkel getreidig, minimaler verblasster Hopen. Süß, fast etwas zuckrig, Vergoren fruchtig, passend trocken. Weiche Moccanoten, zu keinerzeit auch nur annähernd alkoholisch. Ein sehr eigenes Bier, das, obwohl noch nicht sehr alt und viel Alkohol, möglicherweise seine besten Tage schon hinter sich hat. 7/10/10/8/6/10

330ml bottle. Quasi black colour with a red glow, average to huge, firm, frothy to creamy, fairly lasting, moderately lacing, ochre-beige head. Sweet-ish fruity, hoppy aroma has notes of red fruit jelly (Rote Grütze), blueberry, bramble, woodruff highlights. Taste is fruity hoppy, notes of blueberry and bramble, additionally woodruff and peppermint. Very well hidden alcohol, seemingly light; can’t detect any chocolate.

Bottle at Molenhof. Fruity, spicy nose, cola, apple, licorice, cherry. Tastes like a big, strong, sweet Coke. Tangy fruit, super sweet, licorice, coffee. Not my thing really, but flavorful.

Powerful beer that can indeed best be described as a mixture between a strong Belgian dark beer and a black IPA. Nice as always.

Aroma is fairly spicy but also full of esters. Quite a bit of pepper and clove along with some sweet chocolate notes. Dark fruit with cherry, fig and prune. A hint of nuts. Pours a dark brown, almost black with a moderately thick dark tan head. Head recedes fairly quickly but stops leaving a film on top and along the edges. Light lacing with medium legs. Flavor starts with a slight sweetness but then the phenolic notes take over. Anise, pepper, clove and coriander. Moderately strong hop notes but the hops seem to be of a more noble variety than American. Moderate bitterness. Some burnt sugar, toffee and chocolate. Lighter esters in the flavor but still some cherry, fig and prune. Finish is fairly sweet with some alcohol spice to it and a touch of lingering bitterness. Mouthfeel is medium full bodied with medium high carbonation. Low astringency and medium low alcohol warmth. A little sticky but not too bad. This is honestly a fairly interesting beer and better than I remember. The Belgian yeast works well with the noble hops and darker malts to make a very spicy beer. Good complex malt character with nice complimenting yeast notes. Sweet but not too overly sweet and the alcohol feels fairly clean.

Bottle. A dark brown beer topped by a dense, finger-thick light beige head. Ginger, roasted malts, licorice and some alcohol on the nose. The flavor has a faint touch of ginger, with roasted malts, licorice and some alcohol. Warming, full-bodied and nicely carbonated. Bitter finish with alcohol. Certainly a nice one, well worth a revisit. Tasteful and pleasant. 121005

@ Saint Eugène. Black redbrown colour. Sweet (dark fruits, ahorn sirup) but also bitter finish and burned malts. Low carbonation. Very balanced beer.

330 ml bottle into tulip glass, lot 01/01/2011. Pours cloudy fairly pitch black color with a nice 2 finger fairly dense dark khaki head with great retention, that reduces to a small cap that lingers. Nice spotty soapy lacing clings on the glass. Aromas of big raisin, chocolate, roasted malt, light char, brown sugar, cinnamon, clove, pepper, herbal, earth, and yeast spiciness. Nice and pleasant aromas with good balance and complexity; very unique. Taste of dark chocolate, roasted malt, cocoa, light char, raisin, prune, caramel, toast, coffee, brown sugar, pepper, clove, herbal, earth, and yeast spiciness. Lingering notes of chocolate, roasted malt, cocoa, light char, raisin, prune, caramel, toast, coffee, brown sugar, clove, pepper, earth, herbal, and yeast spiciness on the finish for a good bit. Very nice flavor balance and complexity; with a nice malt/spiciness balance; and zero cloying flavors after the finish. Medium carbonation and medium-full bodied; with a creamy and lightly chalky mouthfeel that is nice. Alcohol is extremely well hidden with hardly any warming noticed after the finish. Overall this is a very good Belgian dark ale. Nicely complex with unique flavor and nice balance; and very smooth to sip on. I enjoyed this quite a bit.
