This beer is the favourite of Laurent Agache, who has always adored stout. “But I mean real Stout, not oversweet gassy liquids!”.
With an aim of finding a fairly marked coffee after-taste, we have chosen to use the most torrefied barley malt that can be found on the market – Black malt at 1400 EBC. As this malt is a bit acrid, we have “corrected” it by using another slightly caramelized malt (150 EBC), and some brown sugar. So that the hops can exist alongside these strong caramelized and torrefied malt flavours, we have mainly opted for the strong American hop, Tomahawk.

Color marrón rojizo muy oscuro, opaca, espuma beige bien retenida, dejando buen encaje en la copa. Huele a malta tostada, frutos negros, chocolate, nueces, pan tostado. En boca entra dulce y achocolatada, con final legalmente amargo y torrefacto. Para mi gusto. Una delicia

Bottle from Drinks Vanuxeem, Ploegsteert, Belgium. Pours black with a large thick foamy beige head. Faint aromas of roasted malts, dark fruits, chocolate and caramel. Taste is a touch sweet with more dark fruits, plums, some ash, roasted malts, a little chocolate and a little brown sugar. Quite nicely balanced between roasty and sweet. Medium to full body with fairly low carbonation and smooth slightly oily mouthfeel. Pretty good!

Bouteille ramenée d'un caviste belge et bue à la maison. Robe brun foncé et translucide avec une mousse cassé. La bouche est assez dense, intense, surtout que j'avais bu une bière très légère avant. Notes de réglisse, anisées, herbacées, une légère astringence. Carbonatation légèrement plus forte que la moyenne de ce type de bière, ce qui n'est pas pour me déplaire. Plutôt sympa!

Bottle ordered from beers of Europe and drunk at home. Dark brown and translucent with a swirl of off-white head. I get liquorice, herbal notes, light astringency. Taste is bittersweet with more aniseedy flavours, some dusty cocoa and plums. Finish is slightly more bitter, with a medicinal character in the aftertaste. Body is very watery, especially for the ABV, with carbonation slightly heavier than average. It's surprisingly subtle for the style, and overall enjoyable.
