10 August 2019. At Belgian Beer Geek Tasting. Cheers to the crew, thanks for hosting, Tim! Hazy dark brown to black with a very thin, frothy, tan head. Aroma of prune, raisin, ruby port, wood, liqueur-filled chocolates, vanilla, mocha. Taste is medium fruity sweet, lots of dried fruits with prune, raisin & dates, subtle chocolatey base with a touch of vanilla; a bit bitter, woody, black tea-like. Dryish, herbal hoppy finish, more wood & dark fruits with a good dash of warming port-like alcohol. Medium body, oily texture, fizzy carbonation. Rather restrained in its roasted 'Stoutness' but the abundant dark fruitiness compensates for that.

2014 bottle. Big dubbel type aroma, beefy, bit of choc, ovaltine maltiness. And booze. Taste is more full on, bit of booze, dark fruit, quite dry but with a rich body. Nice but bit full on. Caramel and treacle with a boozy kick

Bottle at Delices. Fake Xmas! Blond, soft, almost British in feel. Light hops, malty, dough like. Bit of sweetness. Good stuff, but surprising on many levels.

Bottle. Dark red/brown colour with small creamy thick head. Aroma is chocolate, ginger spicy, boozy and roasty. Taste is similar, lots of boozy sweetness, roasty, brown sugar. Booze is there but not ultra in your face. Fruity too, raisins. Nice. Quite thick and smooth. It's pretty nice but something not quite there.
