You notice first the natural very dark color of the Wilson Stout, and its creamy dense head. The anticipated light sweetness of the roasted malt, in combination with a typical Van Steenberge hoppiness, offers you more taste and flavor than the common commercial stouts on the market. Certainly the aftertaste leaves you with the impression that this Stout has more body.

Bottle 0,25ltr: A not so good stout from Belgium, watery taste with hints of roasted malts.

Bown creamy head. Yoghurt and fresh cheese aroma. Very sweet and sour flavor. Full bodied.A sweet stout that tastes like outdated yoghurt.

One of those delightfully old-fashioned sweet English-style stouts, which were popular in Belgium in grandpa’s days and are nowadays a bit misunderstood, to say the least. This one has a dense, regular, light beige head and very dark brown colour bordering on black, with ruby hue. Candied dates, dried plums, candi syrup, iron, coffee powder; sweet onset, candi-ish, sourish carbonation, tingling and obviously too strong for this style, slick mouthfeel, cinnamon touch, very subtle roasted coffee bitterishness in the finish. I have a lot of sympathy for these remnants of Belgium’s brewing past: obviously this is not to be compared with the big American-influenced imperial stouts we know today in this country, but comparing this with those ’new generation’ stouts would be unfair. Seen in its own context of old school, ’simple’ sweet stouts, I’d judge this as a typical and decent example, but I am a bit bothered by the overcarbonation.

5/II/2012 - 33cl bottle 2000 vintage @ vintage tasting Brugs Bierfestival - BB: n/a (2012-94) Thanks to Jay for the sample!
Clear dark brown beer, small beige to brown head, unstable, little adhesive. Aroma: sweet malty, some yoghurt, brown sugar. MF: low carbon, cloying, light to medium body. Taste: sweet sugary, brown sugar, some maple syrup. Aftertaste: more sugar. Damn, did they just claim "more taste and flavor than the common commercial stouts on the market"? Seriously...

Bottled@Man In The Moon, Stockholm. BBE 01/03/02. Listed in their Cuvéelisting. Quite much pitch black colour, mediumsized beigeish brown head. Aroma is mild roast, very raisiny/plummy along with some fudge and chocolate. Flavour is quite close to what the aroma is, but also shows some mild oxidized notes. Actually it has aged quite well.

Bottle: Very deep ruby-amber coloured, slowly vanishing beige foamy layer with a reddish sheen; moderate sweet caramelly nose with dried fruits and an illusion of alcohol underneath; sweet flavour, not cloying, medium bodied; sweet caramelly-fruity finish with a wave of burnt sugar and burnt malt in the aftertaste. Pretty sweet, but absolutely not unplesant.........

(25cl bottle) Opaque colour with a brown medium-sized foamy head. Moderately sweet roast-malty aroma with milk chocolate, cacao and a touch of coffee. Sugary sweet flavour with a tinge of acidity, light to medium bodied with a mild carbonation. Roast-malty and slightly milky taste with notes of chocolate, unfortunately aggressively covered by loads of (candy) sugar, lingering into the sweet and slightly tart finish. Way too sweet (02.III.09).

A deep dark stout with reddish hues and a thick moka head. A nestle quick aroma, a bit powdery. In mouth, a sickly sweet syrupy chocolate, honey and vanilla. Light bodied. Bottle from L’Autre Oeil, Oct. 27, 6.10$.

04/04 0.25 l bottle at Hopdevil, Zagreb. Well, I didn’t expect anything from this one, just to see the style, as it’s only one available around here, so... Poured nice dark brown body with medium creamy brownish head. Aroma is OK, sweet malty caramel with some dark fruits, a bit industrial, but fine. Flavor is totally foul on the other side, also caramel but so industrial, very inconvenient, boring. Medium bodied. Finish is bad as well, as pronouncing that boring flavor. Drinkable, more interesting than many pale lagers, but obviously not a bright example of the style.
