Pours hazy golden with an off-white head. Aroma of floral and citrus hops, some yeast and tropical fruits. Flavor is sweet and fruity with some bitterness,wheat and citrus hops. Medium body, average carbonation

Appearance is very dark, just about pitch black with a slight ruby hint. Half finger beige head which dissipates into a light covering. Aroma- coffee, cocoa powder, hint of milk chocolate, some roasty malt. Taste- coffee bitterness, hops, dark chocolate, hint of fudge, smooth, fairly dry finish, medium mouthfeel. Nice.

French stout, it sounds a bit contradictory, but the brewery was apparently founded by a Belgian. Light beige, creamy, thinnish, not very stable foam, colour a very dark burgundy, not entirely black yet. Lots of cooked red cabbage aroma (DMS) apart from black coffee, iron, bitter chocolate, quite strong liquorice (effectively applied here), candied dates. Dried fruits in the mouth, metallic with rather flat carbonation and therefore rather thin body, chocolatey and lots of liquorice, toasted malts, some roasted bitterness, quite short finish. Perhaps I’ve been spoiled too much by big imperial stouts but I cannot say I really enjoyed this.

Bottle sample at a tasting a at Beer Market Jaffa. Thanks Vova. Black with a light brown head. Aroma of heavy roast, coffee, a piney hops note and a smoky note. Bittersweet flavor, very roasty, burnt, with coffee and a bitter finish with a smoky note. Quite full-bodied. Very nice, although not too hoppy.
