On tap at the Brugge Beer Festival 2025, Brugge, Belgium. A very dark brown/black coloured pour with a medium beige head on top. Rich, roasty, malty, fruity, chocolate taste/aroma. A decent imperial stout.

Small rim over syrupy black beer. Cigarette/cigar ashes, cigarleaf, sweet roast, meatcrust, Maillard, overripe banana, cypress/cedar. Again cigar, smoke, really dry, but also a whiff of stale cloth, plums on alcohol. Later reverting to mildly sweet gingerbread flavours. Sticky feel; oily-chewy, viscous, feels a bit better carbonated than it looks. Dry, powerful stout; very rewarding.

330 ml bottle. Pours a very dark reddish brown with moderate head. Aromas of fruity chocolate, creamy coffee, vanilla, and slick roasted malts. Flavors of nutty chocolate, fruity coffee, tobacco, and dry roasted malts. No hint of the ABV. Very different and interesting hop effects. Very nice.
