44cl can bought at the brewery, shared with Tderoeck in Brussels. BB 10/2025.
Brune foncée, col fin café au lait.
Arôme est plaisnat sur le malté avce qcq soupçons de grillé, chocolat, pointe de lactose et un renfort un peu de fruits secs/noirs voire un côté sirupeux de sirop de Liège en mode caramélisé fruité.
Palais est finement malté avec une dose de caramel, toffee et un côté lactose assez délicat snas verseer comme cela se voit souvent dans un effet lactique de yaourt parfois infecté. Ici je ressens aussi un côté délicatement fumé de baccon avec un support de fruits noirs - pruneaux, dattes et mûres.

440ml can [courtesy of Stephan - thanks a lot!]. Jet black colour with huge, frothy to creamy, osteoporosing, minimally lacing, completely fading, tan head. Toasty, oaty and slightly chocolately, dark malty aroma, notes of cocoa, hints of oat milk, some dark caramel, whiffs of cheesecake. Taste is toasty, oaty, dark malty with some residual sweetness, hints of cocoa, dark caramel, a touch of oat milk, weak citrusy fruity, hoppy overtones with a touch of grapefruit, cheese cake.
Creamy texture, smooth and soft palate, medium, soft, creamy carbonation.
Well hopped, balanced - not spectacular but nice.
