A classic dry stout of 7% vol alcohol, brewed with smoked wheat malt and flavored with fresh vanilla.
Charbon is a beer with contradictions: the roasted flavors work together with the smoke flavor from oak-smoked wheat malt to give a good dose of pit with the beer. On the other hand the customized extract of fresh vanilla gives us a mild soft and subtle touch in the beer. The combination provides a thrilling Stout on which the antithetical taste nevertheless ensures a harmonious and balanced whole.

Nicely balanced beer. Good bitterness from the roast. All around clean and enjoyable beer. The vanilla and smoke are mostly overpowered by the hop bitterness though, yet add a nice touch. Online belgian beer factory

Bottle. Deep dark brown color. Milk chocolate, malt and vanilla in the aroma. Alcohol, roast, coffee, ash and smoke in the flavor. Vanilla coming up in the aftertaste. Interesting taste and fairly complex beer.

Bottle from the Permanent Beer Fest, tried twice (thanks Serghei and Matija), slightly past the BB date. Muddy brown body, little head. The aroma is basically a rough dry maltiness, maybe trace smoke. Dry taste, very much woody, more so than smokey, some stale yeastiness, just feels old and it's strange it doesn't age well. Very little to no vanilla. Rough but somehow still interesting, some loved it in this shape too. Guess I need to rerate it fresh.

Caña en el lúpulo feroz Oviedo 04.. 05..2019. Color negro intenso con espuma beige oscuro que desaparece al poco tiempo casi por completo. Sabores maltosos tostados con recuerdos de dobles y cuádruples belgas con toques de stouts ligeramente ahumadas. Cuerpo medio con bastante sabor, más menos fina y cierta densidad. Recuerdos de belgas y stouts. Buena, para repetir.
