Keg at BBF 7, Bodegraven, 25/09/15. Pitch black with a decent tan head that retains well. Nose is chocolate, roast malt, light charr, spice, dark malt, hint of pepper. Taste comprises mellow dark fruit rinds, chocolate, light spice, toffee, roast malt, hint of liquorice. Full bodied, fine carbonation, light warming booze and subtle barrel in the close. Solid impy, good balance, never gets hot.

Sampled @ Borefts 2015. Opaque black color, full sized beige to light brown head that lasts for quite a while. Smell and taste malts, vanilla, wood, lightly liquor, liquorice and moderately bitter. Medium to full body and suitable carbonation. Pretty nice!

Tap at Borefts ’15. Pours black with a medium beige head. Aroma of roast, barrel notes, oak, vanilla, toffee, caramel and malt. Flavour is light heavy sweet and bitter. Full bodied with a sticky texture and soft carbonation. Really nice and a big improvement over the first.

Thx! for sharing. Sampled draft @ Borefts 2015. Day 2. Dark brown, creamy mocha head. Nose is sweet chocolate, cacao, huge sweet vanilla barrel, sweet brown sugar whiskey,… Taste is sweet pudding, caramel, sweet coffee, sugar, sweet vanilla brown sugar whiskey, caramel, huge desert chocolate cake, brownies,… Body is like a smoothie, caramel, sugar,… Awesome, finally the greatness that I was hoping for from Kees! Others may disappoint but this one & Pink Grapefruit IPA are just awesome, hope the future brings more greatness like this.
