Clear blond colour with thin head. Aroma and flavour have a syrupy bittersweetness. There's a touch of orange and lots of lime zest.

Pale yellow and clear with lasting head. Aroma certainly has fruity, sharp rhubarb. The flavour less so. It goes slightly like a vanilla custard. Unusual.

4/XI/21 - 33cl can from the brewery, shared @ home, BB: n/a (2021-1241) Thanks to Klaas for the can!
Pitch black beer, big solid creamy beige head, very stable, adhesive, leaving a nice lacing in the glass. Aroma: lots of CO2, malty, grains, cow fodder, chocolate, caramel, gentle roast, cookies, speculoos. MF: soft carbon, medium to full body, smooth creamy silky texture. Taste: nice roast, little sweet, caramel, lots of coffee, dark roast, pretty bitter, hoppy, resinous, some caramel. Aftertaste: more alcohol, some chocolate, very bitter and almost peated notes in the finish, dark roast, coffee, some banana peel, alcohol burn in the finish, dry and hoppy as well, think I preferred the regular and rather sweet version of the Speculoos Stout.
Re-rating:
19/VII/22 - 33cl can, shared @ home, BB: 1/XII/23 (2022-891)
Ap: 4, Ar: 8, Fl: 8, Txt: 6, O: 8, Total: 7.3
Clear dark brown to black beer, big fizzy crackling beige to dark brown head, unstable, falls down immediately, non adhesive. Aroma: coffee, good deep roast, slightly spicy, hint of vanilla and cinnamon, some chocolate, bread crust, toast. MF: soft to no carbon, medium body. Taste: sweet start, alcohol, a bit sugary, caramel, more alcohol, boozy, a little bitter, some chocolate notes. Aftertaste: alcohol, boozy, vanilla, soft bitterness, pretty sugary, sweet, and yet a dry finish with some tannins. Let's say this is not a good beer to age... I'll leave up my original scores.
