Reddish black with a solid tan he’d. Aroma of caramel malts. Flavour is creamy roast malt, lightly smoked. Burnt sugars at the base, lingering bitter finish.

From Delhaize, Brussels. At home.
Observations: I find the Guiness Foreign Extra Stout quite superior to this one. Consumed it a bit colder and faster than normally would.Solid beer though

330ml bottle. Pours a slightly transparent black with a lasting fine tan head. Aroma is mild dark malts. Beer is medium to heavy in body, sweet & bitter with good length. I don't really enjoy the mix of lots of hop bitterness along with the sweetness but if this is you then it will be great.

Pours a dark almost black colour with a creamy head. Aroma of roasted malts, caramel, coffee, liqourice, some dry fruit. Bittersweet finish. Very nice.

Аромат приятный, не типичный для любого стаута. Пена тонкая, светло коричневая. Цвет темный. Пиво очень мягкое, буквально нежный кофейный оттенок плавно переходит в пряно-черно сливное послевкусие. Алкоголь и крепость напитка не ощущается и вовсе. Конечно пиво не такое богатое на вкус как его старшие братья, но всем тем кому не по нраву яркая сухость и кофейная горечь классического стаута, этот напиток придется по нраву.Уверен в этом.

Bottle 0,3ltr: The wellknown Stout but the Belgian version thus higher alcohol and much sweeter and not so dry as the origanl one.
Holy cap that's better than freaking anything.

Bottle. How different can it be? Slightly less dark red/ brown with a large beige head. Mocha, wood aroma with that sour hint behind. Seems a little less roasty, more creamy and hoppy with a less austere finish (than FXS). But about as good. Maybe this just shades the normal version.
