A delicious full-bodied milk stout with 7 types of malt, each specifically selected to emphasize their properties, resulting in a light coffee taste and a clear taste of dark chocolate. With its 25 IBUs and 109 EBC, it is a jet black top-fermented beer. Ideal to enjoy in the evening on the sofa or with a delicious dessert. With its 5.7% you will not fall over from the alcohol, which is a nice bonus.

Thick brown head, stable, over opaque, almost black beer. Thick creamy-roasted nose, nutty, roast cookies and dito nuts, gravy, sweet soy sauce. Drier roast at first, then sweet liquorice. Not much further to fathom, not much complexity. Feels pretty well bodied, well carbonated. A bit... easy, too easy. Txs to Stef!

Fles thuis geprobeerd met Roelzie1986. Het is een donkerbruin wildschuimend bier. Het heeft een aroma van gebrande mout en vanille en caramel. De smaak is mout, karamel, vanille en chocolade.

28 April 2019. At Zythos Bierfestival. Cheers to Anke, 77ships & tderoeck! Hazy dark brown-black, lasting, unstable, frothy, beige head. Aroma of peanut, hazelnut, earth, milk chocolate, coffee with cream, toast, dried fig. Taste is light to medium malty sweet, quite nutty, chocolate & cream on top of subtle dried fruits, roasted bitter notes of earth, mocha, faint tea leaves, leading to a dryish, herbal hoppy finish, lingering maltiness of nuts, chocolate, cream & earth. Medium body, oily texture, lively carbonation. Certainly sweet, could have been smoother for a Milk Stout.

Clear dark brown to black beer, creamy beige head, stable, bit adhesive, leaving some lacing in the glass. Aroma: very malty, grains, hay, lots of cow fodder, rural impression, barnyard, roast, bit metallic. MF: ok carbon, medium body. Taste: sweet start, sugary, caramel, lactose, bit too sugary for my liking, milk chocolate. Aftertaste: soft roast, some bitter hops, malty, grains, cow fodder, sugary touch in the finish as well...
