Thick, black and oily with a medium sized head. Strong cocoa and coffee - a touch burnt - with toasty malt, maple, butterscotch, bourbon and floral hops. Long finish. Full bodied.

355 ml bottle poured in to a Snifter. Near black with a thin tanned head. Sweet aroma with caramel malts, coffee, chocolate, fudge cake, vanilla and bourbon barrel. Vague hints of booze. Taste is sweet. Full bodied. Lingering sweet finish with coffee and bourbon barrel. Very delicious.

Rating number 5,100. 12 ounce bottle. Bottled on 9/24/2020. Luxurious opaque brown color. Dense creamy tan head is finger high. Rich roasted malt and chocolate fudge aroma. Intense bittersweet chocolate flavor upfront. Notes of coffee and maple syrup with a hint of oak as well. Big boozy notes in middle. Soft mouthfeel makes this smooth going down. Very tasty and best enjoyed sipping slowly.

Bottle from Gedeelde Vreugde. Cloudy black, big, foamy, dark beige head. Intense aroma of coffee beans, sweetened espresso, dried fig, fondant, oak wood, dark fudge, burnt pancake, maple syrup, tobacco, damp earth, vague leather. Taste has sweet dried fig, plum, raisin, coated in a thick chocolate maltiness, sweetened fondant or perhaps not-so-creamy milk chocolate, some nuts on top but way less obvious than the maple syrup and the dark fudge. Bitter coffee bean in the middle along a quite earthy, raw roasted profile. Ends earthy, bit peppery hoppy with lingering coffee roast, fondant, maple syrup and warming but still rather well-hidden alcohol, somewhere between coffee liqueur and actual vanilla-ish bourbon. Full body, creamy texture, soft carbonation. Sweet, very sweet almost but not over-the-top, fitting well into the oak & coffee body. Delicious!

Bottle picked up from Saveur-Biere webshop nr Lille, France. Consumed at home Saturday 8th May 2021 we had Meatballs and Asparagus which was cooked in the wood oven. Pours an impenetrable shark eye black with a light beige head that swiftly collapsed and was consumed by the oily blackness beneath. Bitter cocoa powder and chocolate on the nose with a subtle waft of the barrel ageing and a little roasted coffee bean. Super smooth, super indulgent, chocolate to the fore, honey, syrup, a little oakiness, coffee, caramel, it's all here and finishes with a little burnt roastiness, thick mouthfeel This is a great stout, okay it's a little bit sweet but it's a great beer.

35,5 cl bottle @ home. Bottled 26.10.2020. Aroma has sweet chocolate tones. Flavour has maple syrup, vanilla and licorice. Finishes with warming alcohol. A bit too foamy palate. Sweet and complex, just delicious.

Bottle. A- Dark fudge, fresh coffee, maple. A- Black color, black liquid, brown head. T- Dark fudge, rich, mild sweetness, vanilla, maple, mocha, subtle char, coffee, roasty, faint bitterness. P- Full body, average texture, average carbonation, decadent finish. O- This took forever to find and at $28 a four pack definitely overpriced but had to get. Can't wait to age a bottle or two and see how it transforms. If I had only drank 4-6 oz of this I'd have probably said it was 5 stars. Actually enjoyed it substantially more when it was on the colder side. As it warmed, the maple, fudge and general sweetness subsided into more of a roasty vibe. The alcohol started to show a bit as well. I'm caught somewhere between a perfect 5 and a 4.6 on this one.
