Bottle, 6%. Good fruity and roasted aroma. Cloudy, dark, red, brown colour. Big stable creamy light brown head. The flavour is a little sweet with the same roasted note as the aroma. Good, nutty roastedness from the malt, and nicely sweet to balance. The finish is fruity with a little yeast.

On tap at In de Wildeman. Dark reddish brown beer, creamy off-white head. Aroma of dark fruits and chocolate, potpourri. Flavour is flowery, chocolate/cacao, slight bitterness. Thin to mediumbodied, mouthfeel becomes a bit watery after a few sips. Nice flavours though.

Deep brown-orange beer; small beige head. Woody, chocolate-y nose - but it’s English chocolats, the dreaded Cadbury variety - rootspices. Again chocolate-like taste, bark, leafy and earthy; hazelnuts retronasal (Cadbury complete). Reasonably bodied, bit slick, oily, and some astringency. Not really refined, but not bad. Now for the most important question. I can understand the idea of chocolalternative for lesser informed countries. But who the f*** is Dirk Bockstaele and what has he to do with carubroot???

Draught at Salone della Birra Artigianale e di Qualità 2008, Milan
Hazy brown color. Some aroma of yeast and paint remover, covering the caramel and carob (carruba). Medium body structure, quite dry and harsh mouthfeel; caramel and roasted malt flavor, too aggressive bitterness, unbalanced.
