Quick rating at If It Ain't Dutch... Opaque dark brown. Thin foamy off-white head. Baman puree in aroma and flavour. The coffee gets elbowed aside. Medium bodied. Oily. Soft carbonation. Long finish. Just too sweet for me.

Keg at If It Ain't Dutch, 21/11/2025.
Black topped with a tan cap that thins to a swirl.
Nose is dark malts, chocolate dopped banana, light roast.
Taste comprises chocolate, subtle coffee bean, charr, dried fruit rinds, ashen nip.
Medium bodied with bite, fine carbonation, semi drying close with a kiss of alcohol.
Its okay but the De Molen of 10 to 15 years back would likely be delivering a 7.8/9 beer here ... at least!
Sensory Session #144: deep black color and a nice Tan head. Nose of bananas, caramel, roasty and a Touch of Green peppers. Smooth mouthfeeling. Taste Is sweet-malty, Vanilla, bananas, Coffee and again hints Green peppers. Sweet-caramelly Finish.

Aus der Flasche (bottled 19.11.2024/bbe 19.11.2025) im 2025-07 getrunken. In der Nase ist das Bananen Aroma deutlicher als am Gaumen. Denn dort runde die Süße der Banane die Röstarmen mit ihrer Bitterkeit gut ab. Das Mokkaaroma ist dagegen eher zurückhalten und am Gaumen neben der dunklen Schokolade vordergründiger. Ein spannendes Stout mit cremigen Mundgefühl!

0.33 l bottle from 'Mr. Hop', bottled in November 2024. Pitch black with a medium large, frothy, almost stable, light brown head. Sweetish-malty, quite roasty aroma of dark chocolate, coffee beans, roasted nuts and some banana. Quite sweet, malty, fairly roasty-bitter taste of dark chocolate, hard roasted coffee, licorice, roasted nuts, vanilla and some banana, followed by a medium long, fairly roasty-bitter finish. Medium to full body, smooth and slightly creamy mouthfeel, soft carbonation. Much better than expected, not nearly as sweet and messy as I feared it would be. Overall fairly roasty and bitter with a subtle touch of banana, not artificial at all.
