Medium brown, with a bubbly head. On the nose, there’s some fruitiness, and some sweeter toffee notes. A bit of carbonation for the style. There’s some raisiny notes, maybe a touch of chocolate. Not actually much complexity, though…clearly the coffee comes through, and it’s still otherwise a sweetish, relatively bland strong ale.

From a 375 m bottle. Pours a hazy dark mahogany with a big tan head. Aromas of coffee, toffee and caramel. Flavors are sweet caramel and coffee cake. Very drinkable for such a big beer.

From a 375 ml bottle. Pours a murky dark brown with an ecru head. Aromas are caramel, toffee, and fruit cake. Flavor is pretty sweet, dominated by caramel malts, with a hint of oak barrel. Pretty tasty.

330ml bottle from at Alex's. Pours a hazy brown with a tan head. Aroma is a bit strange with fruity and oxidized notes. Sinilar taste with coffee notes. It is very harsh, sweet and very bitter at the same time. Not good.

Bottled. An amber beer with a beige head. The aroma has notes of malt and caramel. The flavor is sweet with notes of malt, caramel, and fruit, leading to a bitter finish.

330ml bottle shared with Eric in Eecke. Pours clear amber, medium white head. Aroma is sweet, grainy, honey. Light bodied, with a soft caramel sweet character, soft yeast, light spice but generally fairly clean with marmalade hints. Alright but a bit lacklustre.

Blond colour with thin head. Aroma and flavour are packed full of citrus. It's very light and although the hop intensity and alcohol level would suggest thick, heavy DIPA it's as fresh and easy as an APA. Finishes with a little spicy yeast. Very good.

Zwart bier met weinig schuim. Smaak is zoet en warm met iets van cacao, karamel, iets van port of sherry en bessen. Heel fijn om te drinken.

Bottle at LKS - thanks to the host! It pours jet black with a massive tan head. The aroma is earthy, toasty, umami, dark chocolate, jammy fruits, rocky road, maltesers and cake. The taste is soft, sweet, sticky, milk chocolate, earthy, boozy warmth, fudge, chewy malt and leather with a dry, toasty finish. Medium+ body and fine, foamy carbonation. Nice elements to it, but lacks a bit of depth for the style. Not bad anyhow.
