Draught at BXL Beer Fest, Brussels.
Black body, with a medium, creamy, lacing coffee-colored head.
Aroma of cocoa, chocolate, coconut, vanilla, soy sauce, some coffee.
Tastes pretty similar, with subtle booze
Medium, creamy mouthfeel, with a moderate carbonation.
Finishes medium roasty, a bit sweet, dry, wooden, with cocoa powder, liquorice, coffee, some soy sauce, some coconut.
Really tasty. Rich and complex, while very smooth to drink. Great balance, with the right amount of roasty malts, the sweet adjuncts and a subtle alcohol warmth. Very characterful stuff.

9th July 2018; Shrewsbury Beer Exchange Group meeting in Chez Sophie. Cheers Paolo for the 33cl bottle of this. Pours a true black colour, the head a tanned affair. I found some wine like esters before the coffee aromas took over in the nose. taste wise it's coffee, chocolate and vanilla in a viscous, slick body. Very pleasant and very boozy.
