Dark brown colour, beige foam. Nose of dried fruit, plums, caramel, vanilla, fudge. Taste is warming sweet, toffee, some fruitiness, sweet bourbon aftertaste.

Light hazy blond colour, white foam. Light sweet, a bit fruity, some citrussy notes and a bit herbal. Ok tripel.

New strong stout by this Antwerpian Foxtown project, sampled at Meug Tastingfestival. Yellowish-beige, moussy, slowly breaking head on a jet black beer. Aroma of roasted chicory, green (!) coffee beans somehow, hard caramel, bitter black chocolate, used coffee filters, charred toast, nutmeg, ‘oude jenever’, salmiak, burnt black olives, something like worn out rubber. Clean, sweetish onset, hints of treacle, candied fig and blackberry jam but nothing cloying, light umami note (black olive), medium carb; oily body, not very ‘thick’ though, in relation to style and strength. Caramelly, bitter-chocolatey maltiness, sweetish at first but gradually turning drier and more bitter, towards a roasted chicory-like bitterness with spicy side notes (clove, nutmeg) and a slightly ashy aspect; underlying toffeeish sweetness is maintained throughout, but relatively subtly so. Ends with leafy hop bitter notes and warming, ‘jenever’-like alcohol. Decent, nothing more: a tad too thinnish with some weird side flavours here and there. Needs finetuning and rethinking if it wants to be part of the greater ones of this style even within Belgium.

Bottle at home. Red brown color, beige head. Aroma and flavor are malts, caramel, sweetish, a bit boozy caramel notes again. Quite pleasant. --restored rating, original rating got lost due to connection issues-- Quite alright.
