(Draught at Gollem Craft Beers, Amsterdam, 17 Feb 2024) Black colour with brief, beige head. Malty, roasted nose with coffee, dark chocolate and a touch of tar. Malty, roasted taste with notes of chocolate, coffee, peanut butter, caramel and a balanced coffee bitterness. Full body, quite sweet. Om the sweet side, but tasty and more balanced than expected. Very nice.

Pours a murky (I think) black colour and a firm light brown head with good retention. Aroma's of firmly roasted malts, coffee grind, just a hint of peanut from the glass. Retronasal there is coffee grind and a bit of peanuts, which is kind of a weird combination. Flavour is (above) moderate sweet, dark chocolate, some roasty bitterness and a hint of sour (either from the alcohol or carbanation. Full bodied. Creamy mouthfeel, prickly carbonation. Long finish with lots of roast, fairly bitter. A bit messy, but luckily it's not sickly sweet.

Suprisingly good. A nice stout, the pastry is more subtle more coffee. Gollem amstelstraat
