A beautiful head, a dark body and a thick, creamy mouthfeel. What’s not to love? The aroma’s malt, coffee, apple and lemon in the aroma and a slightly more alcoholic taste in the mouth. There’s only one drawback, but it’s a significant one - a persistent metallic aftertaste.

330ml Bottle: best before the end of Oct 2012, whoops. Poured into a Westvleteren chalice on 7th Dec 2012, a bit late! Looked impressive: lovely dark body with a deep tan head of foam (well for 60 seconds anyway). Initial aroma leans towards a Stout maltiness smell and mild chocolate notes waft through the air: good for a Black Lager. The taste is also Stoutish, but with the lager crispness reminding you this isn’t at ale based beer. Those aforementioned chocolate notes can be found it the taste as well as in the nose along with slightly burnt caramel flavour. A lot better than I thought it would be and could well be my highest scoring beer of this style so far.

330ml Bottle BB 10 Oct 2012: poured @ home into a Westvletren chalice on 07 Dec 2012, some two months after its best before date. Looks OK: good deep golden body with a white covering that tries to hang around, but as in most beers of this style it fades to a wispy swirl and collar as you attack the beer. Grainy nose more than hop or straight malt: taste is leaning towards malts, biscuity and semi-sweet. Crisp body and nice hop finish: easy drinking lager and with enough flavour to interest me. certainly one of the highest scoring lagers I’ve had since joining this site.

(Bottle) Appears black, but is very dark ruby, with a short lived beige head. Aroma is hints of chocolate and raisins. Medium body and medium carbonation. Flavour is simple and light starting with some dark roast malt and finishing with some bitterness. It’s an easy drinking dark beer; pleasant enough but disappointing - deserving of faint praise.
