On tap at Cafe Sara. A black one, topped by a tan head. Lots of roasted malts in the aroma, with licorice, coffee and a nice hoppyness. Quite sweet flavor with lots of licorice and roasted malts. Full body, pleasant carbonation and some warmth. Lasting finish with a fine bitterness. I like this one, for sure. 140501

Fra fat på Ølhallen 25 Apr 14. Svart. Høyt mokkafarget skum med litt lacing. God baconaroma. Smaken veldig god: Litt mandler. Svakt røykpreg. Blir syrlig etter hvert. Tørr ettersmak. Alkoholen godt kamuflert.

Stemingen stiger på denne 2.påskedags aften (2014) på Mandag i Annen når denne treffer glasset. Flott belgisk skum, tørr og fin kaffearoma med både syre og sødme og fotavtrykk fra belgisk gjær. Litt kort ettersmak gjør den farlig lettdrikkelig, her skal ikke en eneste dråpe gå til spille. Heldigvis bremser bitterheten i ettersmaken, og det samme gjør polprisen. Min flaske i kjelleren skal settes inn i kroken og glemmes i et par år og utgjøre en test av min viljestyrke. Flasken (nr. 839), delt med Steven hjemme 030916: så og si kullsvart med fint lysebrunt skum som varer. Mørk kaffe og sjokolade, litt røyk/aske, deilig! Tørr avslutning og alt for lettdrikkelig. Den belgiske gjæren gir det hele en ekstra dybde.

Black. Dense and persistent dark brown head. Aroma of roasted malt, coffee and liquorice. Fizzy. Short aftertaste with dark chocolate, coffee and liquorice. Still good drinkability.

On tap at Café Sara. Black with a beige to brown head. Aroma of dark malts with roasty notes, dark fruits, chocolate and hints of liquorice and spices. Medium sweet with nice, moderate roasty flavours. Well balanced and quite smooth. Medium to full body with fairly average carbonation. Nice one! --- Beer merged from original tick of Art Collection - Belgian Black Ale on 14 Apr 2014 at 18:58 - Score: 7
