Bouteille 66cl à Belgian Summer Beer Gathering, merci Bjorn.
Anno 2016?
Noire marquée, col reste encore assez actif malgré les années – épais café au lait.
Arôme sur un bouquet assez classique de ce tout gros stout made in CCB – cependant les années ne jouent pas vraiment en sa faveur et les éléments qui en font sa renommée se retrouvent mis en retrait voire absent avec les années de garde. Ici, la vanille est absente, et la noisette reste aussi plus sur un côté discret qui reste en net retrait par rapport à une base centrée sur le chocolat.
Palais présente malheureusement une absence de la vanille – par contre, le volet noisette est bien présent – le tout garde cependant un côté poussiéreux, boisé – un peu sur l’umami et liquoreux, fruits noirs avec une grosse base de chocolat en support.

Bottled. Viscous black, minimal dark brown head. Treacle, licorice and oak meets intense boozy alcohol in the nose. Very sweet with full to massive body, Treacle and soy sauce dominates, but there are lots of oak, caramel and milk chocolate as well. Very bitter finish with super intense alcohol. Drinks bigger than 14%, leaning towards SA Triple Bock.

Orange copper color with pumpkin spice aroma. Taste is a good balance of malt sweetness and pumpkin pie spices. Not overly spiced but enough to notice. Dry finish, a little pumpkin or vegetable aftertaste.
