Courtesy of bierkoning, thanks Edo! Dark brown, almost opaque color, steady creamy tan head, lots of lace. Strong licorice, roasted malty aroma. Full-bodied. Greasy coffee beans, dark chocolate, muscovado sugar. Aftertaste is short and it it is more sweet than roasted. De Molen is a quality brewery.

(3/16/08) Bottle bought at Brouwerij de Molen in Bodegraven and drank at a friends’ house in Amsterdam. Black color, not totally opaque, with no head and just a bit of brown foam. Strong aroma of dark chocolate, some espresso notes, a bit of licorice, a bit of hops and faint hints of alcohol. Flavor starts sweet with malt, chocolate, caramel and a bit of dark fruits and finishes with a strong hops and roasty bitterness. Full-bodied and syrupy, maybe even a bit like melted chocolate. Really great stuff.

(3/16/08) Bottle bought at Brouwerij de Molen in Bodegraven and drank at a friends’ house in Amsterdam. Dark reddish brown with a long-lasting medium beige head. Aroma of malt, caramel and some alcoholic notes. Big sweet malt flavor with caramel, some toastiness, a bit of alcohol and a rather dry finish with mild hoppiness. Medium-bodied. Good but a bit too much alcohol presence.
