Bottle from Hopt. Aroma is roasted malt with strong notes of oak, coffee, dark chocolate, bark, some dark fruit, espresso. Flavour is medium sweet with a roasty bitter finish. Body is medium to full. Nicely roasty and bitter and I dig the oak influence.

Сразу по аромату ощущается что стиль именно форэн стаут из за классической смеси шоколада, кофе и какого то слегка обожженного солода с бархатным оттенком. Цвет темный, пенка тонкая, коричневая по оттенку. Вкус тоже хороший, снова бархат только уже и на языке. Намеки на сливу. Послевкусие с оттенком алкоголя. Немного кофе и шоколада но не сказать что горького. Бархат остается долго на языке, с намеками на древесину. Конечно немного крепче чем хотелось бы но все равно очень зашло.

Black with a frothy, beige head. Aroma dominated by oak. Underneath, roasted dark chocolate and mixed spices. Taste is bitter with a very faint tartness. Long, bitter oak-filled finish with coffee, nutmeg and coriander. Full-bodied, mild carbonation. Nice!

Bottle from Drinks Vanuxeem, Ploegsteert, Belgium. Pours black with a large thick foamy beige head. Aromas of chocolate and cherries, red berries, dry dark fruits and crusty brown bread. Taste is fairly complex with a mixture of the notes detected in the aroma with some added ashy smoky notes and also some herbal tones too. Nice tang on the finish. Beautifully balanced. Not really detecting any barrel notes. Full body, low carbonation and very smooth mouthfeel. Everything about this beer is just right. I will definitely be visiting this again some day. Fantastic beer. One of the finest Stouts i have tried.

0.33 l bottle, best before July 2022, from an IP trade with fonefan, thanks a lot Jan! Black with a medium large, frothy, slowly diminishing, beige head. Sweetish-malty, gently roasty, quite fruity aroma of cocoa, caramel, coffee, red wine and some cherry. Quite sweet, malty, fairly roasty, slightly fruity taste of cocoa, coffee, caramel, toasted hazelnut and some red wine, followed by a medium long, gently roasty-bitter, slightly earthy and a bit vinous finish. Medium body, gently effervescent mouthfeel, average carbonation. Nice Belgian Stout, nicely vinous and saturating.
