12/XI/16 - 33cl bottle from a trade @ home - BB: VIII/2018 (2016-1299) Thanks to Bierridder_S for the trade!
Clear dark brown to black beer, creamy beige irregular head, little stable, falls down quickly, bit adhesive, leaving some lacing in the glass. Aroma: very roasted malts, some charcoal, dusty, cocoa powder, no coffee though? MF: ok carbon, medium body. Taste: very roasted start, charcoal, very bitter, some heavy roasted coffee, bit sourish. Aftertaste: hoppy, roasted, bitter, cocoa powder.

03-11-16 // tap at the brewery. Pours a black beer with a small creamy beige head. Nice coffe notes in the nose. Really good dry stout. Definitely dry in taste. Roast malts, loads of coffee. Like a cold espresso. Good.

14/10/2016 @home - 33cl bottle from the brewery. Black with small tanned head. Nose is mocha, coffee, roast. Taste is the same, sometimes some alcohol comes through, very dry. Not bad but not great or very nice either. Sometimes I think BBP would better rethink their recipes a bit longer and release half of the beers per year they do now, maybe then they’d be a great brewery, now for me, they are just nice, even not just not very nice but it’s a pitty they release all this mediocre things lately. Well, fortunately most of the times on the goods side of mediocre. (FYI medicore for me is between 2.5 and 3.5, under 3 being on the bad side of mediocre. I just expected a lot more, maybe my expectations were just too high.

Pression @ BBP. Brune foncée, présentant un léger col beige virant sur le café au lait. Arôme met en avant un léger bouquet de café qui est malheureusement mis de côté par une note de malt et grains trop dominante. Retrouve notamment le côté Vienna qui confère une approche de type plus européenne, même belge au niveau de malt pâle, noble au niveau du malt. Petite touche houblonnée en rétro-nasal qui accompagne ce caractère torréfié sans le sublimer. Palais garde une base de malt grillé avec une petite note de toffee et une pointe de noisette. Le tout est sec avec un léger chocolaté en retrait. Rondeur se profile en fin de bouche avec un caractère amer qui prend trop de place par rapport à ce que on pouvait attendre du café. Le côté malt Vienna n’est pas à son point fort alors qu’un ajout d’avoine aurait pu apporter plus de caractère au café. Au final, des éléments d’houblons prennent un peu le dessus avec l’amertume qui n’est pas contrebalancée par les malts qui restent eux aussi dans une approche très belge. Orange is black était un bon exemple de cette approche plus américaine du stout, ici, on reste sur sa soif et demande plus du café. Retrouve de straces d’amertume aux éléments verts nobles.

Sampled draft @ Brussels Beer Project. Black, little tanned head. Nose is thick mocha with gravy, syrupy cold coffee. Taste is cold coffee, mocha, un-rich, simple bit gravy forward, mocha. Bit thin for the style. Overall still pretty decent beer, better than usual I would say for Brussels Beer Project.
