500ml bottle @ Belgian Beer Geeks Autumn Gathering 2025. Pours pitch black with a deep tan head. Aroma of roasted malt. Quite a roasty, layered stout profile, medium to full bodied with a lasting roast linger. Nicely done.

Bouteille 50cl à Belgian Summer Beer Gathering, merci Matt.
Brune foncée, col blanc-cassé.
Arôme sur un bouquet marqué par le smalts – pas mal de grillé, chocolaté, avec une certaine note de café qui perdure en rétro-nasal. Balance discrète par les houblons que j’attendais plus dans la lignée anglaise classique.
Palais sur un malté assez sec, note cendrée, le tout avec un suivi de fruits noirs – chocolaté en support, petite note de grillé avec ce distinct caractère anglais malté rehaussé par un amérisant plus sur le terreux/herbacé.

Sample courtesy of Grumbo, cheers Graham! Dark brown black colour, bubbly brown foam head and aroma of roasty malt, dark chocolate, liquorice, coffee. Taste is roast malty, ashy, chocolate & coffee, dark fruits, smokey, with earthy bitterness. Medium bodied, medium carbonation, dry tangy roast bitter finish. Nicely drinkable.
