As you can suspect by its name, the 'stoutish-edition' is a beer of the stout style. It's brewed with 5 different kinds of malt and oat flakes.
Roasted malts give the dark warm colour and coffee and dark chocolate flavours. We use three kinds of hop. The hops give the stout-ish its typical soft bitterness and fruity aroma's that work well with the flavours from the roasted malt.

Bottle @ Trollekelder, Gent. Black with a big light brown head. Aroma is sweet, roasted malt and light hoppy. Flavor is medium sweet and rather bitter. Dry and rather bitter finish. Has the hoppy bitterness of a Black IPA, but would be even better with some aroma hops. 170317

Another one I forgot to take notes of in spite of having tasted it two times already, the first time at Trollekelder by Ster’s recommendation, somewhere in December last year. Rating from sheer memory but I’m determined to go back and take notes. Moussy, medium thick, dense, pale yellowish beige head, very dark but still more or less translucent, ’off-black’ bronze robe. Aroma of coffee grounds, bitter chocolate, liquorice, ’natural’ iron, burnt brown sugar, toasted bread, dried banana, fig, black tea. Restrained but well-placed dried fruit sweetness in the onset alongside a ’dim’ sourish note fit for a stout, gently carbonated with oily, smooth and sufficiently ’full’ mouthfeel, nutty and toasted with a light coffeeish roasted touch in the end, bittersweet with herbal hop bitterness in the finish, some dried fruits lingering. Pleasantly surprised by this one’s profile which is not overly Belgian, if tasted blind, I would have situated this in some non-Anglo-Saxon, ’new’ craft beer country (Netherlands, Spain, eastern Europe), if you get my drift. Will certainly revisit - with pen and paper nearby.

Thank you Kraddel & tderoeck. 330 ml. bottle sampled. BBF 29/11/18. Dark red amber, wouldn’t call it black or even black-ish, creamy tanned head. Nose is metallic herbal, licorice, faint hop, almost pine, mellow notes, low kitche spices. Taste is decent metallic licorice, herbal, bitter bark, spices, bit fizzy, plastic fruit, moacha. Okay beer, makes me think more of a Belgian Ale than a stout. Body is bit thin, fizzy, metallic, some mocha. Nowhere near the quality of their Blond.

Imported from my RateBeer account as L'Arogante Stout-ish Edition (by L'Arogante bvba):
Aroma: 8/10, Appearance: 5/5, Taste: 9/10, Palate: 4/5, Overall: 18/20, MyTotalScore: 4.4/5
4/II/17 - 33cl bottle @ home - BB: 29/XI/18 (2017-4) Thanks to Erwin AND Daniella + Leslie for my prima nocta bottle!
Have tasted it before, but it probably was too warm, and all shaken up so there was mainly yeast in the flavour. After sitting in my beer fridge for 2 months, I finally got around to tasting it properly. And holy shit, what a treat. No more yeast flavours, but all the hops! To me, this is more a black ipa than a stout. Then again, let's not get there, shall we? :p Clear dark brown beer, huge creamy beige head, very stable, adhesive, leaving a nice lacing in the glass. Aroma: very hoppy, citrus, grapefruit, some band-aid (so 8 instead of 9 for aroma, alas), roasted, dry, cocoa powder, some caramel. MF: lively carbon, medium body. Taste: pretty hoppy, citrus, some grapefruit, bitter hops, soft roast. Aftertaste: bitter, nice roast, caramel, hoppy, bit metallic, citrus, grapefruit, pineapple, little sweet, very nice beer!
