Flaska från Etre. Opak riktigt mörkt brun vätska med medelhögt beige skum. Doft och smaka choklad och kaffe. Stor kropp, aningen syrlig och fruktig som etiopiskt kaffe. Gott

Fles gedeeld met Roelzie. Het is een diep donkerbruin bier met een bruin schuim wat snel weg ebt. Het heeft een gebrande moutige wat zoete geur. De smaak is gebrande mout, koffie en chocolade in de afdronk.

330ml bottle. Quasi black colour with small to average, frothy, half-way lasting, minimally lacing, beige head. Sweet-ish, chocolately, dark and caramel malty, slightly fruity aroma, notes of dark chocolate, dark caramel, some coffee, a touch of burnt coffee, cocoa, yeasty fruity hints of cherry. Taste is sweet-ish, minimally alcoholic, dark and caramel malty, notes of dark chocolate, dark caramel, some coffee, burnt coffee, a dusty touch of cocoa, yeasty fruity hints of cherry, a touch of plum; minimally warming, alcoholic finish. Slightly viscous texture, smooth and soft palate, medium to fine, soft carbonation. Relatively simple, monotonous, rather burnt coffee flavours, nice fruitiness - decent.

Best before 01/10/2022, Batch 63-64, 330ml bottle, Imperial Porter with cherries and coffee;

AROMA: a combo of fruity esters, mild candied cheery and slightly bitter chocolate, coffee faded significantly (mild hints on the edges), toasted sugars, brown sugars & caramel, hints of cheery liquor, savory/umami note, moderately toasted bread, bread crust, a faint hint of caramelized onions, stale cola vibe, pear drop, hints of oatmeal, no obvious hop profile or roast on the nose

TASTE: smooth carbonation, fluffy bubbles, lightly silky & creamy feel but also slightly thin on the mouthfeel, medium body; moderate sweet onset of toasted sugars, caramel, light cheery flavor with soft tartness, dark chocolate with fifteen percent cocoa solids, barley coffee, medium light bitterness from roasted, toasted malts & hops (mild earthy & grassy notes), alcohol is remarkably well hidden; more natural cherry pops up as it warms up with soft ”acidic” touch, hints of butterscotch mixed with fruity esters, mineral notes, subtle nutty presence - walnuts, lingering dark chocolate & subtle woody coffee in the aftertaste, light dryness

OVERALL: harmonious & well rounded imperial porter; of course, this is not an IS therefore slightly lighter on body & mouthfeel; dangerously drinkable and enjoyable brew

Bottle from Rotsaert, Zedelgem, Belgium. A black coloured pour with a thin beige head on top. Rosty, malty, chocolate, coffee aroma and taste. Slightly sour/bitter, not a bad effort from Verzet.

Thick-set darker beige head over virtually black beer. Woody nose, ink, cardboard. Liquorice, faint sourish alleviation; but with a lot of dark malts and melanoidins, appearing heavier than it ought to be, certainly with the alcoholthinning. Pretty slick, dry finish, medium to well-carbonated. Dry - but again one I don't get what the idea was. Thanks to Stef!
