Draft at If It Ain't Dutch. Let's see what my rushed notes say: Oily. Tan head sticks to the rim. Aroma has rather sour berries and coffee. Flavourwise it mirrors. The aroma.

Nose is dark malts, molasses, coffee bean, chocolate.

33cl can de et partagée avec Tdroeck à Ixelles. BB 12/2026, canned 12/2023.
Brune foncée, col blanc-cassé.
Arôme sur une bouquet chargé en café / espresso, prune non-mûre; baies noires, poussiéreux avec un retour sur les malts dont des notes de chocolat noir et caramel.
Palais sur une base maltée, léger biscuité caramel avec pas mal de notes de café - booze bien là tout en ayant en support des notes de fruits rouges/noirs et secs - dattes, figues et pruneaux. Note de sucre résiduel avec un effet un peu crystal - candy. Le café revient un peu trop sur la fin.

Donkerbruin tot zwart bier met schuim wat snel wegzakt. Smaak is bitterzoet met veel zwarte koffie en donkere chocolade, samen met wat vanille een perfecte combinatie.

Very dark brown with thin head. There's elements of dark chocolate and espresso. Not very bitter but nicely roasted.
