3 year old 11.2oz bottle. A pinch oxidized. Sweet, heavy, rich...of course. Thick chocolate fudge, the Belgian yeast gives it fruity depth, almost a port like undertone. Even with that, a little bit one note, too big for its own good. Still enjoyable.

Aromas are dark malt, roast, toffee, molasses and a bit of Belgian yeast. Flavors are similar to nose, just a bit sweet with soft carbonation. A touch bitter to balance. Incredibly smooth. No sign of alcohol. Very nice.

Pours dark brown into a tulip. Mocha head with good retention recedes leaving trailing sheets. Chocolate covered pit fruit aromas. Sweet and tart with dark chocolate covered cherry upfront turning to oak and espresso in the sweet, lasting finish.

Bottle at home, cellared this one for 1.5 years. Pours black with an off-white head. Nose is chocolate, coffee, booze, molasses, some caramel. Taste is sweet malty, chocolatey and sugary, there are dried fruits and molasses in there. Oh and it's heavily boozy. Also, pretty thin for the ABV. Underwhelming, sadly.
gave a cheers!

Bottle from Drankenhandel Leiden. Aroma is dark malt, liquorice, light roast, dried fruit, caramel, candy sugar. Flavour is sweet with some booze in the finish. Above medium body. Bit too heavy on the liquorice for me.
