Bottle, courtesy of Toni Fluekiger, BB March 2015 - First vintage from 2010. Pours super dark brown. Aroma is strong bourbon and vanilla, some booze, coffee and chocolate. Body is heavy, but with a low but fizzy carbonation not the strong sugar bomb it could be. Sweet with only a little roast or bitterness. Palate is long lingering sweetness, continuing all the flavours. Very, very nice, ages with grace.

Bottle thanks to 50Belair! Pours inky black, medium dark brown creamy head, slow to dissipate with nice lacing. So far, so good. Aroma is fudge brownies, molasses, roasted malts, cocoa powder, raisin, some coffee. Flavor is all of the above, quite sweet, light plus bitter, rich and decadent. Full body, creamy mouthfeel

330ml bottle at home, 13% ABV. Thanks Spiros!! Black color with nice creamy brown head. Aroma is roasted malty, light coffee, chocolate, nuts-hazelnuts, dark fruits, peat, leather. Taste is sweet and bitter, roasted malty again, coffee, cocoa, chocolate, dark fruity and nutty, light peated. Full body almost creamy with soft carbonation and long bittersweet nutty coffee and dark chocolate aftertaste.

Bottle, one of the 5 year olds they sold at Borefts this year. Beer came gushing out, shame some was lost. Probably infected. Delicious smell of roasted malt and cacao, but a bit sour as well. Taste was a bit of a lettdown, it didn’t age very well. Body somewhat thin, with a sour/sweet (infected) taste of malt and chocolate, the bitters got lost. I like the current BD series better. UPDATE. Had an uninfected as well, much better beer. Thick and heavy, with both sweet coffee and choco notes and bitter roasted malt and hop. Great beer. Rating is for the uninfected one.

Collaboration between two of the most innovative micro breweries in the Low Countries and the starting point of a whole series of interesting black beers. Thick and mousse-like, dark beige head, colour uniformly and totally black, not allowing any light to shine through. Very complex and powerful aroma of coffee, cacao, dates, iron, cinnamon, peat, tobacco, dried plums, liquorice, ashes. Very thick, creamy and oily mouthfeel, almost ’chewable’, sweetish and profoundly malty, some iron, complex spicy notes of pepper, cinnamon and liquorice, in the end a more coffee-like toasted bitterness with aromatic hops and warm, lightly tingling, gin-like alcohol, very long and very complex. This is what happens if two already very profound beers are combined to perfection.
