Bottled. A dark brown beer with thin brown head. The aroma is sweet with light notes of roasted malt and caramel. The flavor is sweet with notes of licorice and light notes of roasted malt. A bit like a hvidtøl.

Bottled. Pitch black opaque colour, mediumsized brown head. Coffee, chocolate and roasted malts in aroma. Sweet caramel, some plum, dark chocolate and hints of syrup in flavour. One it gets a bit warmer also clove, licorace and some milder spices get through in the flavour. I enjoyed it much.

Yellowish dark brown head, not stable; deep dark brown beer. Sweet nose, fruity like blueberry or bramble jam, and hazelnut paste. Terribly sweet, though less than remembered, with a harsh roasted edge. Retronasal pure worts, as a German Kraftmalz. Liquorice, and a lingering, non-hoppy bitterness. Heavy roasted burning MF, good body, syrupy. Typical Belgian sweet stout of the old stamp. I think, nevertheless, that the ABV has been raised somewhat during the last decennia, and it certainly has made it more balanced than before. If Philippe tasted sour, he had a bad bottle.

Dark brown color; generous brownish head. Delicate aroma: malt, roasted malt; sweet. Good body structure, some sweetness but correctly balanced by the hop and some carbonic acidity; some liquorice; very light roasted. Ordinary palate. Must be improved by a better hop character.
