Bottle, 2001 02 03. Dark, no head, oily. Dates, figs, licorice, tobacco, malt. Smooth, some warmth, licorice umami soy sauce. I am surprised, but it seems I like old stuff.

Aroma: Dark malt, caramel, notes of spice, dried fruit, raisins, chocolate, with hints of licorice. Moderately sweet and moderately bitter. Medium body. Something like a cross between a stout and a strong Belgian dark ale. Not quite my cup of tea, but an interesting beer, quite different.

Bottle at the beer bistro.
Black pour, beige head.
Big roasty aroma, soy, licroice, piney hops. solid mouthfeel, and carbonation. Finish was quite bitter, but very satisfying. Big notes of burnt malt, espresso, and roasted/burnt malts. great stout.

Bottle at home. Aroma is dark malt, caramel, spicy notes, dried fruits, raisins, chocolate, with notes of liquorice. Flavour is moderate to medium sweet and moderate bitter. Body is medium. A very Belgian style Stout, like a blend of Stout and Belgian strong dark ale flavours. Not exactly how I like my Stout, but it’s an interesting beer, very different.

Cerveza de color marrón muy oscuro, casi negro, opaca al trasluz, espuma beige claro muy abundante, cremosa y persistente. Aroma con fondo algo dulce y torrefacto, se perciben maltas tostadas, levadura, pan de centeno, frutos negros, frutas del bosque, café espresso, chocolate y una sutil nota de lúpulo herbal. En boca el trago es sedoso, muy sabroso, moderadamente corpulento, rico en matices, de entrada domina la malta tostada, y el cacao, reforzado de inmediato con notas torrefactas, cafetosas e incluso herbal, de fondo una base de frutos negros maduros (arandanos, moras...)que equilibran bastante el trago. El alcohol se percibe muy ligeramente, pero no para mal, sino para bien, aportando una sutil licorosidad, en realidad sus 9%ABV permanecen bastante ocultos, siendo esta Hercule una cerveza peligrosamente muy fácil de beber. En general no puedo decir de ella más que es una delicia digna de repetir.

Bottle at 1900 Art Cafe. Med-thin body, medium carbonation. ABV hidden well. Nice solid roasty base, with a hint of smoke, ashy, tobacco. I do not get much belgiany presence, only a hint. Easy drinking, quite good.
