Poured into a nonic pint glass, the appearance was a black color with tan head that died off at a nice pace. Semi-foamy lace.
The aroma had some black licorice with a delicate roasty coffee bean, and Baker’s chocolate.
The flavor kicks at the roastiness to blend the black licorice and Baker’s chocolate to some molasses and then a semi-spicy to sweet aftertaste coaxing the finish in a smooth sort of way.
On the palate, this one sat about a light to medium in body with a fair sessionable sort of sticky feel. Mild carbonation. Good ABV.
Overall, good stout worthy of having again if I could find it.

This was poured into an English pint glass.
The appearance was a hazy amber color with a slight bubbly head.
The aroma had some cracker to bready malt up front and a light citrusy to bitter piney hoppiness ever so subtle in the background.
The flavor yielded to the malts decently. Birch taste comes out here. Quick crackery malt aftertaste. Cracker and birch in the finish.
On the palate, this one sat about a light to medium on the body with a subdued carbonation about it. ABV felt right.
Overall, as a Bitter it works, but the birch is really only tasted. Never smelled it, no matter how many times I had it. Perhaps again, as it’s decent for the style.

Thanks Derrick for bringing down a growler.
We both had this in chalices.
The appearance was a hazy burnt brown color with a one finger white foamy head that dissipated within about a minute. There was some light lacing sticking and then sliding down into the beer.
The smell had a fairly nice sweet to spicy blend of chocolate, cinnamon, nutmeg, and ginger.
The taste took those flavors and added a light coriander to it.
On the palate, this one sat about a medium on the body with a good abbey ale sessionability about it.
Overall, I say this was a pretty good Belgian ale that I could do again.

Draught, Amsterdam Cafe.
Brown, mostly chocolatey with a touch of spice that lends a little bit of nuance. Good stout, sweeter than most of the other Alaskan stouts.
