Pours black, small grey head. Smell is sweet, bit spices, ( curry pops in mind, which is very weird ) very mild roasted malts. Taste is weak, minor roasted malts. Sweet, a bit of that curry character. Low carbo. Mild oxidation. very easy drinkable !

English-style sweet stout since long made by Interbrew, now AB InBev; also available in cans but I haven’t seen it in a while, not sure if it is still produced after the fusion with Anbev. Beige head, near black colour, primarily caramelly and chocolatey malts character, some liquorice, light roasted bitterness in the finish but overall (too) sweet and even sugary. An old fashioned style which is facing extinction in Belgium, but in all this is / was a fairly decent example.

February 2008. Stout with quite a bit of carbonation. A little, sweet subtle chocolate. Smooth, slighty creamy and with a trace of smoke.

Bottled(250ml). -Black coloured, medium sized brown head, sweet chocolate nose. Roasted malt, chocolate and sweet licorice taste wizh notes of coffee and caramel. There’s evident lack of alcohol, and in other hand sugar is too exposed.

(3/9/08) Bottle at De Heeren van Liedekercke in Denderleeuw. Best before 1/19/00. Brewed by Interbrew. Black color with a small light brown head. Great and really powerful aroma for a medium-strength Stout – roasted malt and lots of chocolate. Great sweet roasty flavor with roasted malt, chocolate, some caramel and some coffee notes. A slightly drier finish. Medium to full-bodied. One of the best Stouts I’ve ever had.
Note: now that I see how low it’s rated I really wonder if it’s the age that did this beer wonders or just me having a very unusual taste regarding this beer

(25cl bottle) Very dark brown, almost black colour with a medium sized, brown and dense foamy head. The aroma has light-sweet notes of toffee, chocolate and cacao powder, backed by roasted coffee. Bitter flavour with a light sweetish edge, medium bodied, with a slightly crispy mouthfeel. Moderate roasted malt-character with a dry and bitter finish including a light fruity note and sweet toffee in the aftertaste. The sample was two months past its bb-date, anyhow a quite pleasant and not too sweet Stout.

Bottle from Spar, Ypres, Belgium. Drank this sat outside my tent dodging the showers. I suppose that this was better than expected, poured very dark brown a little bitter than anticipated, roasty flavour swishing around, quite tasty.
