Bottle, vintage 2013. Pitch black color, with almost no head. Aroma is immediately coffee, then dark chocolate, vanilla, whisky. Taste of coffee, chocolate, oak. Sweet but dry and balanced, alcohol is there but under control. Thick mouthfeel, low carbonation. Another masterpiece from Struise.

330ml bottle delivered from Sophie's Beer Store and drunk at home. Very dark brown, opaque with a thin ring of beige head. Bourbon in a standout in the Aroma, but it doesn't overpower, with chocolate malt, coffee grounds, ash. Sweet, mellow taste with a lovely bourbon tang. An earthy bitterness in the finish, with more bourbon, molasses and a touch of Marmite. One of those rare barrel aged beers that's powerful but certainly not unsubtle.

I have had Black Albert previously so the bar is set high. Barrel aged Cuvee Delphine is highly anticipated. I'm informed by the label of a 2018 vintage, all right with that. I lift the cap on the 33 cl bottle and pour into my Straffe Hendrik glass, a mighty dark, glorious-brown body with a smattering of dark tan foam. There are scents and then there are scents. This one is quite fine, bakers chocolate, raisins and alcohol. But the drink is the payoff. Chocolate, dark fruit, bread, berries and a touch of bourbon. Not a big body to the taste as I expected but still good.

Black colored, moderate dark tan creamy head, good lasting and nice lacing. Aroma is of chocolate, strong roasted malt and burnt sugar, coffee, some oaky vanilla notes. Taste follows the nose, plenty of chocolate, coffee and roasted notes, light caramel and toffee, medium+ sweet malt, some dark fruits, light+ oaky vanilla, moderate roasty bitterness, rather light alcohol with some warming sensation. Full bodied, soft carbonation, creamy. Excellent
