16th Dec 2012: on-tap in the Antwerp Gollem. Slight haze to my golden/yellow bodied beer, on top a thin white head, it was larger when poured but by the time it arrived at the table it had sunk into it’s self somewhat. Fairly sweet malt and fruity nose, this also carried on into the taste. The beer has something about it that I like: the yeast content sits well with the alcohol and although it might be a bit sweet for some it certainly hit the spot with me. Complex and interesting: never seen it on-tap before or since.

Draught at Kulminator. Opaque dark brown liquid with small to medium light tan head. Aroma of biscuit, chocolate, sulphur, dark fruit and toast. Taste is light sweet and light bitter with notes of biscuit, toast and chocolate. Medium to full bodied with low to medium carbonation.

33cl Bottle from De Hopduvel, Gent. Clear dark brown colour, beige head. Aroma of dark fruits, alcohol, quite sweet and fruity, malts, molasses. Flavour is sweet, dark fruits, alcohol, hint of liquorice, light bitter alcoholic finish. Medium-bodied. Just a plain Belgain Strong Ale, has absolutely no stout characteristics. Disappointing.

33cl Bottle as Buffalo Anno 1907 Ale. Dark brown colour, light-beige head. Aroma of raisins, dark malts, dark fruits, some yeast, caramel, grain, some pumpernickel. Flavour is sweet, malty, dark fruits, raisin, touch of smoke, caramel, sweet fruity finish with a hint of alcohol. Light to medium-bodied, overcarbonated. Not a fan of this, it’s too sweet for me.
