Bottle shared at Borefts ’13, thanks to Kamiel (Countbeer), 27/09/13. Light black with a thin tan head, floaties are evident. Nose is roast malts, slightly lactic notes, cocoa, earthiness, mineral notes. Taste comprises cocoa powder, mineral bite, roast malts, dark fruits, tarte fruit tang. Medium bodied with bite, fine carbonation, dry finish. Ok - nothing I’d revist.

Bottle @ Borefts ’13 thx to Illuvatarmilan (if I spelled that correctly). Pitch black coloured beer with a full sized, dark brown head (which looks lovely). Smells some iron, roasty and coffee. Tastes coffee, again iron, liquorice, slightly salty and roasty. I’m not a fan of liquorice taste in beer, but this beer does it quite nicely. Medium to full body and soft carbo.

Flavour is also quite sweet, chocolate, roasted malts, dark fruits, some sweetened coffee, roasted and light hoppy bitter finish. Medium-bodied. A bit simple, but nice.

Sampled @ Borefts 2013 from bottle thanks to Illuvatarmilan. Pitch black color, small brown head. Smell and taste malts, toasted malts, dried fruits, some bitter. Hard to describe. Not bad at all though.

zwart met schuimige bruine kraag aroma is zeer beperkt of het komt doordat er nasale verstoppingen zijn smaken: licht zoet, redelijk bitter, licht zuur, zwakke body, dun van textuur, laag co2. ??? weer zo’n dunne waterige Belgische stout, alles is weer op lichte basis, koffie, geroosterde mout, zuurtje, blijkbaar zijn er liefhebbers van dit lichte genre op ratebeer, maar ik mag hem graag wat voller/sterker. vandaar mijn ’lagere’ dan gemiddelde waardering

7/IX/13 - 33cl bottle @ Tuinfeest Heeren van Liedekercke - BB: n/a (2013-832) Thanks to Kris for sharing today's beers!

Clear light orange beer, big creamy white head, pretty stable, bit adhesive. Aroma: bit metallic, little grassy, citrus, but pretty faint in all. MF: ok carbon, medium to light body. Taste: citrus, pretty bitter, bit metallic, grassy, piny bitterness. Aftertaste: pretty watery, very bitter. Not too bad, but misses some body and depth.

Bottle, 25cl. Unclear, golden to orange in color, with a small, dense, light beige head. The aroma is typical Belgian, sugary, fruity and with a yeast touch. Quite bitter flavor, grassy and lightly piney, with a malty touch and yeast note. Full body, pleasant carbonation. Long bitter finish. Quite pleasant actually. 130906
