First tasted at Brugs Bierfestival, 3 February 2018. 8/5/7/4/15=3.9. 18/1/2019. Rerate, bottle from Prik & Tik (Sijsele). Pours cloudy black with a lasting, small, frothy, unstable, beige head; lots of lacing. Strong aroma of fondant, coffee roast, salted caramel, (burnt) toast, cigar ash, blackcurrant, fig, salty licorice. Taste is light to medium malty sweet, very chocolatey, some peanut & salted caramel, umami note of black olive; medium roasted bitter middle brings pure fondant, a bit powdery, espresso & tobacco. Dry, malty finish, some peppery hops apparent too, lingering toast, 'noir de noir' chocolate, espresso, almost ashy, and subtle warming whisky alcohol. Medium to full body, creamy texture, soft carbonation. No genuine 'oyster saltiness' here, but balanced and very enjoyable.

Thanks to tderoeck, Bierridder_S & Rubin77. Sampled draft @ Brugs Bier Festival 2018. Dark brown, creamy coffee tanned head. Nose is nice blue cheese hop, very raw bitter coffee, interesting plum syrup. Taste is massively bitter coffee, lingering bitter, raw, dry, empty otherwise but still nice very harsh with low cheese & touch plum. Harsh but nice & tasty brew.

At a tasting, small bubbly creamy head, murky darkish brown color, aroma of vanila pod, milk chocolate and cake with a whiff of sea, dark bitter chocolate flavor with a charred hint, nit too heavy. Really nice and highly enjoyable.
