28 April 2019. At Zythos Bierfestival. Cheers to Anke, 77ships & tderoeck! Hazy black, quickly thinning, tan head. Aroma of licorice, prune, raisin, milk chocolate, burnt caramel, toast, salted peanut, molasses, gravy. Taste is medium malty sweet, notes of caramel, molasses & licorice, fruity touches of raisin & ripe plum, roasted bitter hints of fondant & mocha, slightly nutty & toasty too with the faintest umami edge. Dryish, herbal hoppy finish, lingering licorice, mocha & chocolate, warming coffee liqueur-like alcohol. Medium body, slick-oily texture, fizzy carbonation. Hard to compare to the regular Zwarte Zjef, I feel like this needed a firmer bitterness to qualify as ‘Deluxe’. Good though.
