473ml can. Quasi black colour with minimally late awakening, average to huge, firm, frothy to creamy, very slowly osteoporosing, moderately lacing, tan head. Mildly roasty, chocolately, dark malty and weak, minimally zesty, citrusy hoppy aroma, hints of cocoa, dark chocolate, a touch of coffee, hints of orange peel, lemon, mandarine, a touch of orange flavoured chocolate. Taste is surprisingly homogeneous, citrusy fruity hoppy and chocolately, mildly roasty, dark malty, some raosty bitterness, some zesty bitterness, notes of lemon, orange and dark chocolate, or rather lemon flavoured resp. orange flavoured dark chocolate, some cocoa, a ouch of caramel, some residual sweetness; tobacco overtones in the finish. Immensely creamy texture, smooth and soft, silky palate paralleled with weak astringent (tartness) and pungent (bitterness) aspects, simultaneously a greasy-oily effect on the lips as well; very fine, dense, mildly prickly carbonation. Relatively weak, or better, thin hop flavours in the aroma, very homogenous, amalgamated taste, extraordinary mouthfeel - pretty good.

Poeh, stevige bak laurier, donkere/zwarte mout, drop, wel lekker, maar omdat deze vrij stevig is voor mij net over het randje..
