Huge cream-tan head over virtually black beer. Roast, ashes, liquorice, black chocolate. In the taste black chocolate, roast, and also coffee, which wasn't there in the nose. Gets drier in time, which is remarkable. Again ashes. Quite well-bodied, and well carbonated. Utterly heavy and silky smooth, alcohol hidden. Quite good Stout. Willems have ordered an interesting addition here. Txs to Stef!

Bottle. Color: Black, frothy beige head. Aroma: Roasted malt, herbal. Taste: Mix of roasted malt, coffee, some chocolate and herbal hints of anise. Just over medium body, below average carbonation. Alcohol is well hidden. Over moderate sweet, moderate bitterness. Smooth, almost a bit creamy mouthfeel. Ok Imperial Stout.
