Bottiglia. All'olfatto si esprimono sentori di sottobosco . L'olfatto viene stimolato in maniera elevata e l'esistenza olfattiva è apprezzabile. Il cappello di schiuma color beige resiste abbastanza. La grandezza delle bollicine è a grana media. Il colore è scuro impenetrabile. Il corpo è strutturato. L'amaro è nella media . La forza gustativa è elevata e permane in maniera duratura. Il gusto è piacevole. Le sensazioni boccali finali risultano di birra beverina. Il retrogusto è inteso. Al palato arrivano sentori di zuccherino, caramello, miele, cioccolato, liquirizia, agrumi, arance amara, mandarino, mela, marron glacé, frutta passita, uvetta bagnata nel rum, chiodi di garofano, salsa di soia e vaniglia.

33 cl bottle from De Bierkoning, a little bit past the BBE date. Presented as a stout! Black color. Dense beige head with good retention. Aroma's: big coriander, dark berries, chocolatey. Retronasal mainly coriander, light chocolate. Flavor is light moderate sweet, fruity sour, berries, spicy. Medium bodied. Spicy bitterish finish. Not even too bad, but the coriander doesn't go very well with this (type of) beer.

Fancy 33cl bottle, thanks Manon! ABV is 8.5%, brewer labels it as an Italian Stout. Gusher. Dark brown to black colour, huge beige head. Aroma of wood, balsamic vinegar, clearly infected, some coffee and dark fruits. Flavour is light sweet, tart, wood, balsamic vinegar, coffee, dark fruits, caramel, tart-bitter finish. Medium bodied, firm carbonation. Infection made this an interesting Flemish Red - Stout crossover.
