Can, 0.33l. Black pour, half finger frothy brown head, medium lasting. Good lacing on the glass. Very good on the nose, strong cocoa notes, wafers, vanilla, nicely balanced. Quite promising. Full body, soft carbonation. Thick and creamy texture, chewy, soft on the palate. Very smooth. Roasty bittersweet taste, a bit more on the sweet side. Very nicely balanced. Rich aroma, toasted caramel, toffee, cocoa powder. Brownies, oats, vanilla. Wafers, bready, biscuity notes. Coffee in the background. Some fruity notes, figs and raisins. Sticky. Subtle alcohol burn on the tongue, nicely warming. Long lasting finish. Rich, complex and tasty. Excellent brew.

Can from Geers, Oostakker. Pours cloudy black with a slowly thinning, frothy, dark beige head. Strong aroma of brownie dough, milk chocolate, vanilla, brown sugar, cashew, meringue, biscuit, mocha with sugar. Taste is a thick chocolatey & biscuity sweet profile with a creamy vanilla undertone, somewhat herbal & toasty bitter & very faintly umami soy-like. Dry, toasty, herbal hoppy finish, lingering bitter pure dark chocolate, biscuit & nicely warming whisky alcohol. Full body, oily texture, soft carbonation. Delivers exactly what it promises; sweet & chocolatey without turning into a pastry Stout, never letting go of the distinctive 'Stoutness'.
