Beer of infinite density. Massive, rich coffee and chocolate flavour mingle with the vanilla and dried fruit. A beer to be shared and savoured. Can be cellared. Enjoy with (or as) dessert!

Bouteille(11.6%, 650ml, vendange 2012, merci joss!): Literally black - what else? - with a small tanned and stable layer, robust bitter-sweet aroma of roasted malt, coffee, chocolate with traces of tobacco(?), vanilla and mild wood in the background; solid - as expected - sweet-bitter flavour, full bodied and astonishingly soft; lingering sweet-bitter fruity-roasty finish with wanilla and vood and a warming port-vinous finish. A very pleasant night-cap...

Thnx to Dr. Beer. Pours Black, not-so-stable off white, small head. Smell is roasted, complex dark sugars, mild coffee-like roasty undertone. Taste is mildly bitter, very burnt, roasty, very, very distant barrel features, they build up a bit as the beer warms up. Some bourbon, mild vanilla. Bit of oxidation.

Totally oily black. No head. Smells like a marshmallow and vanilla pudding aroma. Very toasty with burnt oak and brownies. A bit of phenol finish. Toasty and crisp. Cocoa, vanilla. I get some banana and cream at the finish

On tap at Alibi, 2016 release. Pours very dark brown, almost black with a brown head. Aroma and taste are slightly sweet, dark fruits, burnt malt, saddle, with some chocolate, cocoa and roasted sunflower seeds notes and some alcohol. Burnt malt with dark fruits and some bourbon, saddle, chocolate and smoky notes aftertaste. Very good balanced beer. Should become even better with aging.

In mouth, a nice sweet chocolate malt with light coffee, maple, vanilla, alcohol warmth, toffee, very nice and balanced. Bottle at Spinrsx tasting.

2016 bottle poured. Huge thanks to mcberko for the bottle! Listed at 11.2% Jet black pour with an active tan fizz head and sticking lace. Aroma is chocolate, doughy, and a bit nutty. Big chocolate flavor upnfront, and a little dough, a lot like the aroma. Thick body, lingering cocoa finish. Excellent.

Bottle split at RBWG ’15 hotel lobby share on the final night, thanks to whomever shared this one, 21/02/15. Black with a moderate tan covering. Nose is rich malt, light peppery spice, chocolate malt, charr, light roasted tones, subtle barrel. Taste comprises rich chocolate, dark fruit rinds, spice, trace of bourbon. Full bodied, fine carbonation, semi drying close with a little added boost. Ok impy but doesn’t really get out of 2nd gear for me.
