Batch #3 Good brown-creamcoloured head, irregular, over deep brown beer with ruby sheen. Dry-ish chocolate cookies aromas, wood, hints at lactic acid; chocolate and coffee coming out more in force once it warms up a bit, carrying the beer away from the initial Oud Bruin impression. Coffee, very roasted to burnt flavours, near porterish. Mild bitterness, bitter chocolate and more wood, felt. Very dry MF, scarce & severe. Aftertaste carries some sweetness. Severe, but finally pretty pleasing beer. A success, even maybe only for the connoisseurs. Many thanks, Uncle J!

Bottle at Chriso pre-GBBF tasting 09. Hazy brown colour, beige head. It’s a Belgian brune. OK. But it’s a burnt Belgian brune and that lets it down somewhat. 2.6/5.0 Rerate on tap at The Grove Huddersfield. Rich choc dubbel. Absolutely fine. Bit sweet bit over carbd but tasty enough

Pours deep mahogany into a shaker. Fluffy pancake head with medium retention leaves sheet lacing as it recedes. Cocoa and plum aromas. Sweet and creamy chocolate upfront turning to raisins in the middle and a peppery cocoa finish. Takes on an unpleasant chalky sourness as it warms.
