Bottle from Speciaalbierpakket. Aroma is roasted malt, chocolate, pretty strong liquorice, with notes of mocha, caramel and coffee. Flavour is sweet with a decent roasty bitterness in the finish. Body is medium to full. Pretty decent Impie with a strong liquorice and chocolate aroma, well done.

Bottle. Almost black. Maltm caramel and licorice in the aroma and flavor. Roast. Malty sweet, creamy. Milk chocolate. Nice, but too much licorice.

Liquorice stout from one of the countless new Dutch craft brewers (this one in Bussum), bottle from Plan B in Rotterdam. Creamy, very regular, dense, yellowish mocha beige, stable head, black robe with chestnut brown edges only visible for a few millimeters off the edge - looks perfect for the style. Aroma of indeed dry liquorice candy and 'drop', wet leather, toasted walnuts, bitter chocolate, coffee grounds, old dried plums, tea bags, bayleaf, black pepper, nutmeg, dry earth, autumn leaves, cigar ashes, minerals. Sweetish onset, old dry raisins, sourish edge as well as a very thin umami accent (cured meat), with a notably minerally side to it, even a tad metallic; thick, creamy mouthfeel, softish carb, but not quite as viscous as many other stouts of this strength. Thoroughly toasted nuts-like malt body with bitter chocolatey edges, while the metallic aspect continues to 'zing' at the edges, leading to a bittersweet, full finish, a tad ashy, very roasty and black coffeeish bitter, drenched in an explicit and absolutely unmistakable liquorice candy flavour. Herbal, slightly spicy hop bitter touch in the finish as well as the expected, well-positioned 'afterglow' of rum-like alcohol, but the liquorice flavour persists well beyond that. This is what it intends to be: a strong stout flavoured with liquorice, which fits in rather well; could have been thicker and more complex, but it is technically well done and delivers what it promises so this works fine for me.

Bottle @ cafe Goesting. Dark color, medium frothy head. Aroma of roast and licorice. In taste some caramel and dark chocolate. Bit thin texture, more a dark belgian strong ale or a quad.

Bottle from Bierkoning, thanks Eddan. Hazy dark brown with a small tan head. Aroma and taste of dark malt, chocolate, licorice and some hints of fruit. The body was full and the finish long.
