Thick creamy light brown head stayed well on a near black still body. Licourice, dark berry & smoky aroma. Medium to full bodied, silky in the mouth with a slight tingle on the back & clean finish. Bitter berry, brown sugar, malt, coffee & peach tastes with smoke hints with a tangy citrus finish.

Beer52 bottle. Black, tan head. This doesn't do anything special at all, it's what you'd expect and hope for from a strong stout. Rich, earthy malt, coffee, chocolate and a dash if fruit just to cut through that a bit. But it's really nice. Not one I'd necessarily remember and the strength demands that I couldn't drink loads of it but I'd want to.

Draft @ the brewpub, presented as Van Vollenhoven's Stout Original, not sure if it deserves a separate entry. Black color. Firm beige/light brown head. Aroma's: roasted malt, drop/licorice, umami. Ratronasal it's droppig/licorice, sweetish, umami. Flavor is moderate sweet, droppig, light bitter. Medium bodied. Roasty moderate bitter finish. Good stuff.

0.33 l bottle from 'Bierhuys', 7.1% abv, bb date not readable anymore. Pitch black with a medium large, frothy, slowly diminishing, beige head. Sweetish-malty, slightly roasty aroma of milk chocolate, hazelnut, licorice, vanilla and some coffee. Quite sweet, malty, moderately roasty taste of dark chocolate, licorice, coffee, some hazelnut, a touch of raisins and traces of vanilla, followed by a short, moderately roasty-bitter, slightly earthy-dry finish. Medium to full body, slightly creamy and moderately effervescent mouthfeel, soft carbonation. Quite nice but not the best stout at that abv, almost like liquid licorice, too much yeast character as well.
