330ml bottle. Jet black colour with small to average, frothy, half-way lasting, minimally lacing, tan head. Sweet-ish, slightly roasty, dark and caramel malty aroma, notes of dark caramel, some treacle and coffee. Taste is roasty dark malty, slightly sweet caramel malty, notes of coffee, sugared mocha, dark caramel, almost ashy, roasty partitions; lingering, roasty finish. Oily texture, dry, nevertheless minimally cloying palate, medium, prickly carbonation. Nice roasty, coffee flavours, but lacks some body for more intensity thereof, minimally overcarbonated - can't naturally keep up with big Impy Stouts, but is solid middle class.

Bottle. This beer is named after a famous building in Utrecht, housing the office of the Dutch Railway manager ProRail, which I visit professionally quite frequently. Nice. Color: Black, light brown head. Aroma: Rosted malt, coffee, mocha. Taste: Very smooth mouthfeel. Medium to over medium body, below average carbonation. Black coffee, mocha, roasted malt. Moderate to medium sweet and bitter. Lacking some complexity and body, but overall a pretty good beer.
