A deep dark stout with no head. In aroma, sweet chocolate malt with dark coffee, light vanilla, pleasant and smooth. In mouth, a nice chocolate malt with dark coffee grind, musty character, light alcohol warmth, very nice. On tap at De la Gappe location.

Pours a real dark brown-black colour with hardly any copper highlights. A nice mocha-coloured frothy head, good retention and lots of lacing streaks left. Not getting much coffee at first, but more chocolate malts and a tad plum (among other dark fruits). Then, the coffee really comes out nicely, to blend with the rest, and roasted malts. A smooth, lightly thicker mouthfeel with some decent dryness in the finish, that makes it not too syrupy. A nice mix of coffee-hop bitterness lingers nicely. You can then taste the roasted coffee notes in the background. A pretty easy-drinking coffee stout, with the coffee not being too strong, but nice undertones all across.
