(Can) Pours black with a tiny tan head. Nice aroma of banana, dark toffee, chocolate, maybe a hint of raisins. Excellent mouthfeel-full bodied, smooth, with fine carbonation. Great taste too with excellent balance between sweetness and bitterness. There’s sweet banana and caramel at the start with dark chocolate in the background. The dark malt and coffee bitterness steadily grows. Very enjoyable.

20/X/21 - 44cl can @ home, BB: n/a, canned: 23/II/21 (2021-1180) Thanks to Erwin for sharing the can!

Clear dark brown beer, small creamy irregular beige head, unstable, falls down quickly. Aroma: lots of overripe banana, sickening sweet impression, antibiotic syrup from the eighties, some lactose, weird coffee smell, this don’t smell very promising if I must be honest… MF: soft carbon, medium body. Taste: lots of coffee, caramel, bit sweet, malty, more coffee. Aftertaste: very bitter, coffee, dark chocolate notes, some caramel, hint of vanilla. Not too bad or overly sweet, lacking some banana in the flavour, bit of a gimmick not much else.

First: unbalanced and artificial. Strong sweetness that takes beer out of balance. Present cocoa and roastiness also banana. Medium bodied and carbonation. Really not good stout. Dissapointment.
