The magical story of the mighty Black Pot is about to unveil. Only the privileged get to read it. Only the open minded get to enjoy it!
Long, long ago when the black wizard last opened his magical book of sorcery, a frail piece of paper fell out. Buried deep in the lost caverns, that paper should have found its end there, together with the spirit of its keeper. But, by fate - or something else - this never happened. Once the wind made it through a narrow space and caught the paper, its journey began. It traveled the world, visited places where the best ingredients grow and encountered many gifted people in its path.
And then it reached us. We need to be honest here: we got lucky, real lucky. Finding this recipe was close to a mere walk in the park because actually, it found us.
We did our best to dust it off and decipher the sophisticated writing. Once we grasped the meaning, we held it close to our chests, grudging that we were about to share it.
But heck, we love you guys, so here it is: The Black Pot.
This bold, pitch black, viscous liquid is a statement of our love. You can surely keep it a buried in a hidden well-cooled place to age. You can enjoy it fresh. It will tell a different story every time.

Fles thuis geprobeerd. Het is een diep donkerbruin bier met een medium bruinig schuim. Het heeft een gebrande rokerige geur. De smaak is vol, gebrande mout, koffie, chocolade en drop.

330ml bottle from a trade (thanks Neil). Pours black with a tan head. Aroma of roast malts, coffee, dark chocolate. Taste is sweet, very roasty, coffee, dark chocolate, molasses, liquorice, hints of leather and tobacco, bittersweet and boozy finish. Full bodied, smooth. Really well balanced and excellent stout.

Tap at Borefts, 2019. Poured a clear dark brown colour with a lasting frothy tan head. The aroma is roasty malt, caramel, red berry fruits, light alcohol. The flavour is moderate sweet, with a smooth, rich, malty, toffee caramel, fruity, light vanilla palate. Medium to full bodied with soft carbonation.
