thanks to dsnowden for this gem!
pour pitch black, really no surprise there, small light brown head that doesnt last long. Aroma is VERY roasty, lots of malt, and hickory smoke, and i’m getting a bit of soy sauce. FLavour is again, big on roasted malt, and a big smoky note in the finish, almost sausage like. A nice lingering bitterness in the finish also. SUper nice beer!

Dark brown. No head, of course. Smells like that rich umami creosote sort of dark malt tamari. Big whiskey on that, too. I mean, Highland Park, that's nice stuff. The body is light, maybe a bit of papery note because it is quite old. I'm guessing it's past its prime, but there still some cool elements here, especially the bit of dark malt and the substantial whisky accent.

Poured from 330mL bottle (bottle #02942; Sept 2007). Very dark brown with minimal light tan head. Underlying peat and whiskey, feint oxidation, decent.

Thx, Josh!
Oxidation that's getting into a tomato sauce territory, some pear and soy sauce. Taste is along the same lines, low carbonation. Meh.

Bottle at De Koffer, Groningen. Aroma is roasty, coffee, chocolate, dark malt, hint of liquorice. Flavour is moderate to medium sweet with a surprisingly good roasty bitter finish. Body is medium. Fairly light on the palate, but aroma and flavour are pretty potent.

Bottle from Speciaalbierpakket. Aroma is gentle citrussy hops, grainy biscuity malt, fruits, with some floral hoppy notes. Flavour is light to moderate sweet and medium bitter. Body is medium. Not a hop bomb at all by American standards, it’s gently hopped with some nice fruity citrus notes. Easy and very drinkable.

Аромат в меру жженый, немного кофейный, есть слегка намеки на шоколад. Цвет черный, пенки почти нету. Вкус слегка маслянистый, есть жженые следы от кофе и черного шоколада, намеки на изюм возможно. Намеки на дымность, немного бобов и весьма сильная горечь на глотке от кофе и шоколада. Норм в целом.
