18/VIII/18 - 33cl bottle @ Gents Bierfestival - BB: n/a (2018-1053)

Clear dark red brown beer, small creamy irregular beige head, pretty stable, non adhesive. Aroma: some mocha, chocolate, bit of coffee, dusty, molasses, dried fruits. MF: soft carbon, medium body. Taste: bitter, hoppy, very roasted, coffee notes, bit sweet, charcoal. Aftertaste: bitter and dry hops, bit sourish, mocha and coffee. Not bad, but not my favourite style...
