4/XI/20 - 33cl can from Geers (Oostakker), shared @ home, BB: 24/VIII/21, canned: 24/VIII/20 (2020-1027)
Clear dark brown to almost black beer, big aery to creamy off-white to light beige head, pretty stable, adhesive, leaving a nice lacing in the glass. Aroma: lots and lots of caramel, hint of vanilla, milk chocolate, lactose. MF: ok carbon, medium to light body. Taste: soft sweetness, caramel, roasted malts, some vanilla, milk chocolate, slightly sourish, malty touch. Aftertaste: soft bitterness, pretty dry, lots of dark burned caramel, lactose, some caramel and chocolate sauce, pretty hoppy bitter finish, not getting any salt from the salted caramel? A bit thin and watery, would like to try a 14% ABV iteration of this beer. ;-)
Paired with a pumpkin pie with caramelised pecans.

Can from Geers. Cloudy black, thick, frothy, beige head. Aroma of salted caramel indeed, ice cream, mocha, peanut, milk chocolate, toasted brown bread, shortbread. Taste has sweet chocolate, mocha & tangible caramel but never cloying with a nutty edge, soft bitter toast & coffee roast; ending earthy hoppy, slightly bitter, lingering caramelized nuts & coffee. Medium body, oily texture, soft carbonation. 'Palpable' in taste but the aroma hits harder.

330ml can packaged 3 weeks ago. Looks like I'm the first here not to review the cask version. Pours black, good sized frothy head, plenty of retention and lacing. Salted caramel, roasted malts, dark chocolate, vanilla, lactose. Wow, what is there not to like! Smooth and not overbearing. Soft carbonation. Quite sweet but there is just enough bitterness in the finish to balance it. However the finish does have a slight astringent note. Apart from that this is an excellent beer, very enjoyable.
