330ml bottle [courtesy of Grumbo, cheers Graham!]. Darkest brown colour with minimally late awakening, small, creamy, half-way lasting, minimally lacing, dark beige head. Roasty, chocolately, dark malty and slightly yeasty fruity aroma, notes of dark chocolate, cocoa, some blueberry. Taste is roasty and chocolately, dark malty, notes of dark chocolate, coffee, cocoa, roasty bitterness, a touch of burnt coffee, marmite, very weak fruity overtones with a touch of blueberry. Slightly creamy, watery texture, smooth and soft palate, fine and soft, creamy carbonation. Quite bitter roasty, not overly complex, nice blueberry touch - decent.

To begin a very big thank you to Grumbo for this discovery! Beer is above all the pleasure of sharing. Ce cheval noir ne nous rappellera pas la chevauchée des Walkyries avec un équilibre perfectible et des arômes relativement simples, sans emphase. Le visuel est sur un brun foncé quasi noir, sans mousse. Le nez est sur un trio café/chocolat/noisette, simple mais appréciable. En bouche, nous sommes sur une texture très fine avec une astringence notable et un sucre trop présent qui sont perturbants. A noter de légères épices présentes à l'attaque mais sur un cocktail manquant de variations. L’arrière-bouche présente une astringence marquée, peu appréciable. L'alcool, à 9 % tient la route. Corpulence et longueur sont modérées pour leur part. Ce n'est pas le plus beau des étalons.
