Bottle 75 cl thanks to sjogro, massive thanks even! Black with small light brown head. Lots of sweet red berries, chocolate, raisins, boozy cognac, marzipan, sweet coffee, quite earthy, some vanilla wood, cobwebs, toffee, dried dead leaves. Over medium sweet, light bitter and very light sour. Over medium bodied with light feel and low carbonation. Maybe a bit past its prime, but still a really good beer. Great experience to have tried this.

330ml bottle at Jamey’s (thx a lot, man!!!). Pours a very dark brown, almost black with a tan head. Aroma and taste are very complex: cognac, marshmallow, resin, burnt malt, caramel, roasted sunflower seeds, dark fruits, figs, some coffee and black chocolate notes. Coffee with milk, roasted seeds aftertaste. Perfectly done beer!

Little 18cl bottle pours an oily, translucent deep brown, basically no head. Nose has wet wood, burnt wood, a little mushroom, some German chocolate cake. Flavor is chocolate, watery coffee, earthy tree bark, cola, vanilla. Finishes watery, but it is a bit old. Just a bit too far gone.

(Bottle, from De Bierkoning, Amsterdam) Black colour with lasting, creamy, pale brown head. Malty, roasted nose with notes of strong sweet black coffee, dark chocolate, treacle, cacao and hints of oak wood. Malty, roasted, fruity taste with strong black coffee, dark chocolate, liquorice, cacao, treacle, hints of cognac and a generous coffee/cacao bitterness in the finish. Full body, smooth and velvety mouthfeel. A certain sweetness coming through. A bit sweeter than the original H&V. Lots of taste, and all in exceptional balance. Excellent beer!
