Cask at the Southampton Arms, London on 29th March 2022. Deep sepia brown with tan foam and plenty of lacing. Rock solid roasty malts in-mouth and aroma with a rich and intense roasty finish. Full-bodied with a smooth yet solid mouthfeel. Exquisite. NOTE: Cask version is 5.3%

28/XII/21 - 33cl bottle from Geers (Oostakker), shared @ home, BB: 29/X/21, bottled: 29/X/20 (2021-1619)

Clear ruby to chestnut brown beer, huge dense creamy beige head, stable, adhesive, leaving a nice lacing in the glass. Aroma: some ripe banana, malty, soft roast, some caramel, lots of chocolate, more overripe banana. MF: ok carbon, medium body. Taste: nice roast up front, lots of cocoa powder, dark chocolate, some coffee, very bitter, dry and hoppy. Aftertaste: hint of banana peel, bit metallic, more chocolate, very bitter finish, nice stuff!

Really good foam on a cloudy deep brown body. Nice molasses and coffee on the nose, clean though a little soft. Taste is hoppy biscuit, caramel, chocolate icing hints. Finishing smooth and full. a real treat, excellent.

Bottle from Geers. Hazy dark brown, stable, foamy, tan head. Aroma of toast, roasted chestnut, burnt caramel, dried tea leaves, fig, tobacco, dried orange peel. Taste has sweetish fig & plum over a dry, peanutty, hard-caramel-like malt body, bit toasty bitter & herbal. Earthy hoppy finish, dried orange peel returning aromatically, bit piney, nutty. Medium body, creamy texture, soft carbonation. Rather classic but with elegant, subtle hoppiness.

Creamy tan head stayed on a dark brown still body. Roasted & nutty aroma. Medium bodied, creamy & smooth on the palate. Malt, sweet fruit, tangy, nutty & berry tastes with a bitter finish. Really nice!

Tap at the brewery. Dark brown colour, creamy light golden head. Aroma is sweet and malty, bit burnt. Taste is lovely, creamy, sweet malty, little bit of roast, lightly spicy, little bit of citrus bitterness. Like it. Rerate August 15. Looks more black than brown. Very dark brown with beige golden head. Aroma is roasty, chocolate, bit of spice, light vanilla. Taste is great, cocoa, creamy, chocolate, very thick and smooth. Lovely stuff. Little bit of ginger maybe. Wow, this is great.
