Black with a creamy, beige head that lingers. Rich, chocolate aroma. Toffee. Licorice. Lots of malt intensity accompanied by spice and port wine. Taste is bitter chocolate with a touch of ash at the finish. Rich, smooth, chewy. Unusual, almost traditional take on the style for a Belgian brewery. Nice.

Mörkt brunsvart vätska med tunn skumslöja. Aromer av mörkt kaffe, mjölkchoklad och massiv kavring. Stor och rund maltkropp. Fyllig, eldig och en god eftersmak.

A 33 cl bottle of stout apparently enhanced by chocolate and sent along by one of my Belgian retailers. Time for a try. Using my ABGB snifter to catch the pour, I see a dark brown, almost black liquid, with a swell cover of medium tan foam. I smell dark chocolate and a touch of ash. A drink gives a taste heavy with chocolate, grain, malt, more coal than I like and an interesting berry sweetness. The sensation is fine for a basic stout. Would’ve like considerably more if not for that ash addition and that is my own thing.

Fles thuis geprobeerd. Het is een diep donkerbruin tot zwart bier met een volle bruine schuimkraag. Het heeft een aroma van chocolade. De smaak is gebrande mout, noten, koffie en chocolade.

Bottle from FinestBelgianBeers Pours a rich black colour with a thick creamy looking beige head. Aromas of chocolate, roasted malt, coffee, caramel, nuts, bread and sugar. Taste is not as sweet as the aroma with rich chocolate, coffee, a nice roasty bitterness and a tiny hint of sugar. Medium to full bodied. Good carbonation leaves a slight fizz on the tongue and palate. Nice smooth mouthfeel. The roasty bitterness leaves a nice long aftertaste. Very well balanced. It is not as sweet as i was expecting and I'm glad it isn't. Rich and tasty. Good!

Zwart bier met mooie bruine schuimkraag. Smaak is romig en licht bitter met iets van chocolade en mokka. Genieten.
