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.

Запах немного специфический и резкий. Чувствуется легкий демок и копченость. Цвет угольно темный, с тонкой пенкой которая быстро исчезает. Вкус весьма сложный, очень сильно ощущаются различные винные нотки а также копченость, немного алкоголя и сладкая нотка в конце. На удивление послевкусие быстрое, немного сладкое с кислинкой. В целом интересное предложение.

Bottle from Drankenhandel Leiden. Aroma is dark malt, whiskey, roast, some peat, chocolate, oak, some caramel. Hint of salty liquorice. Flavour is medium sweet with a modest bitterness. Body is medium to full. Balanced and smooth barrel aging the way I like it, very good.
