Aroma of roasted malts, dark ripe fruits, dark chocolate, berries, coffee. Flavour is moderate to medium sweet with a moderate bittersweet finish. Nicely balanced, not too sweet and easily drinkable despite the ABV. Lovely beer.

Bottle, 0.33l. Aroma of roasted malt, chocolate, spices and caramel. Pours dark brown color with thin creamy cappuccino-like head and average sparkling appearance. Taste starts with sweet caramel and roasted malt, follows by spices, chocolate, coffee and dried fruit, mouthfeel is warm, while finish is mild bitter. Full body, thick texture and lively carbonation in palate. Midnight runner…

Bottled 330ml (Beerdome)
Opaque colour, small brownish head. Aroma is peaty and roasted, some caramel. Medium-bodied. Roasted flavour has peat, smoke, coffee and alcohol. Tastes like BA but perhaps just lots of peaty malts in this one (as nothing about BA in the bottle).

Bottle, bottled 2020, 11%. Color: Thanks to Raymon Gammage. Almost black, beige head. Aroma: Roasted malt, liquorice, mocha, hints of smoke. Taste: Roasted malt, fruity notes of dark fruit, smoky notes, mocha, espresso, dark chocolate hints and light smoked meat hints. Moderate to over moderate sweet and bitter. Alcohol is pretty well hidden. Over medium body, just below average carbonation. Nice one, nice complexity.

2014 vintage. On tap at De Drie Dorstige Herten, pours a black with a large, foamy brown head. Aroma really smells like smoky whiskey, but I was defiantly assured this is just the regular version that stopped being kegged in 2014. Other than smoky whiskey, there's medium roast, leather, and tobacco. Flavour follows suit, with lots of leather, tobacco, and smoky whiskey. Lots of beautifully smoky notes here. This has aged pretty incredible. Excellent.

Bottle. Almost black, opague. Malt, coffee and licorice in the aroma. Full bodied. Malty, but fairly dry. Licorice, red merries, pear, coffee, molasses. Some grassy hops. Well made, has a British feel somehow.
