The solid taste of malt originates from the combination of four different malts used in the brewing of this beer. Discover all the different notes: chocolate, coffee, vanilla…

Bottle. Almost black with a nice, creamy tan head. Good aroma of roasted malt, syrup, dried fruit, toffee, some wood and chocolate. The taste was rather sweet but very pleasant. Creamy mouth feel with a good aftertaste.

Pour is a dark brown with a huge tan head. Aroma has some chocolate and roasted malt. Flavor at first is very bitter but later redeames itself with some heavily roasted malt and leaves a nice dark chocolate on the tounge. Did not look like much of a stout at first but this won me over in the end.

(bottle, 33cl, 8.2% abv) Slightly hazy, brown colour with a ruby shine and a giant tanned foamy head. Yeasty, roasty malty aroma with fruity accents of dark berries and prunes, accompanied by notes chocolate and leather. Moderately sweet and roasty bitter flavour, almost full bodied with a moderate carbonation. Roasty malty taste with chocolate, liquorice and now calmer fruity notes; roasty bitter and chocolatey finish with delicately fruity notes. The fruit-character is too obvious imo. 31.X.10
