Bottle at home, dark brown beer, larger head. Aroma is sweet, malt, chocolate. Taste is the same, average.

Fles 33cl thuis gedeeld. Chocolade, vanille, cacao, caramel, marsepein, zacht. (29-12-2023).

Pours dark brown/ Black, glass full of tanned head Looks very overcarbonated. Smell is sweet, spice, toffee, chocolate, mild coffee, some spices, mild caramel. Taste is sharp, bit bitter, toffee, mild chocolate, very mild coffee, caramel, fairly complex, spiced, rather thin body, tad too sweet. Carbonations is high, but not as high as feared . some ' speculoos' at the end, ends a bit of pastry-like, even.

The second, dark and 'male' one in this series of so-called aphrodisiac beers developed by a cab driver working in Ghent (and whose taxi I took twice there so far by sheer coincidence...). Combines Indian spicing, truffle and cocoa, oddly enough. Very thick, yellowish pale greyish beige, foamy, stable, even rocky head over an initially clear, very dark bronze-hued chocolate brown beer with glowing ruby red tinge, lightly hazy with sediment. Quite expressive and perfumey, yet odd nose of Belgian chocolates, walnut liqueur, strawberry praliné in a bar of black chocolate, butterscotch, white cardemom seed, orange jam in a Pim's cake, spiced brown bread, coffee candy ('Haagse hopjes'), brown soap, tea. Sweet onset yet less sweet than feared, souring edge also from fizzy carbonation, some apple and vague banana notes; slick caramelly, eventually soft toasty bitterish maltiness with a light metallic but also very chocolatey edge made bigger than it is due to the added cocoa, with a cocoa powder effect in the end combined with strange and fake 'strawberry praliné', cardemom and other Asian dry spices and late earthy hop bitterishness, a bit tea-ish and herbal. In all this array of clashing flavours, the truffle remains remarkably absent - but I doubt whether this is a bad thing here: this is a bunch ofhardly matching flavours thrown together in a not very orderly way. Weird concept, including that whole 'happy ending' idea behind it, but then the guy behind it is a bit of an eccentric as well so I guess it does convey his ideas adequately. I personally don't see Indian spices, truffle and cocoa work together in a tasteful way, but it is, all things considered, an fascinating beer and more drinkable even than I was expecting, to be honest. A case of benefit of the doubt for me.

Very dark brown with thin head. Aroma and flavour are strong with milk chocolate. Plenty of floral, fruity notes too. Interesting and not unpleasant if you know what to expect.

Bottle from Dranken Geers, Oostakker.
Pours hazy dark brown with a lasting, foamy, beige head. The aroma contains lots of milk chocolate, cacao powder, caramel, some red fruits, faint herbs & hops. It tastes medium chocolatey sweet and light to medium herbal bitter; bit dry; bit hoppy and toasty in the finish. Medium body, slick texture, lively carbonation. Interesting aroma but bordering on artificial and perhaps a bit one-sided. Palate is just off.

Bottle from LDW. Dark brown colour, brown long lasting foam. Nose is very fruity, berries, physalis?, caramel, fudge, chocolate. Strange is strong chocolate, cocoa with vanilla and light fruity tart. Very strange combination. Don’t know if this is a good combination but it’s interesting for sure!

24/VII/17 - 33cl bottle from Geers (Oostakker) @ holidays - BB: 2/VI/19 (2017-1115)

Pretty clear brown beer, huge towering creamy beige head, pretty stable, bit adhesive. Aroma: lots of chocolate, quite an artificial chocolate aroma to be more precise. Also spicy, caramel, squeeze bottle of chocolate sauce for ice cream, slightly sourish, fruity notes. MF: soft carbon, medium body. Taste: pretty bitter, artificial chocolate, little sweet, caramel, vanilla. Aftertaste: bitter, sweet, caramel, chocolate, soft roast, chocolate but too artificial. Probably artificial chocolate flavourings have been added, for practical brewing reasons?
