Clear deep amber beer, small pale tan head. Nose is nicely toffee apple. Smooth and slightly soft palate, reasonable fine carbonation. Smooth toffee caramel malts, rich and yet quite light. Some Port Wine berries on offer and well integrated. Soft calvados provides another dimension, some apple stands alone but also that lovely toffee apple vibe carries over from the nose. Smooth finish brings everything together. Super duper! Smooth and rich with great depth of flavour but still dangerously drinkable. Lovely lovely stuff.

Sampled between ratebeer and Brewver, so didnt take much notes, but holy hell I remember that foam. Super-duper dense and extemely creamy. I even contacted the brewer to WTF out on him. Apparently, no adjuncts, but he suspects the addition of the candy ' blackie' created this foam. This is just beautifull to see, although my natural reaction is 'this can't be right'. Very memorable indeed ! taste wise it's not overly complex or fullboedied ( to international standards ) but it's certainly a very nice offer from a Belgian brewing company !

Bottle from Bierhalle Deconinck, Vichte. Dark brown/black colour, creamy beige foam. Nose of roasted malts, some vanilla, sweet caramel (lekkies). Taste is roasty, notes of coffee, well balanced with the sweet notes of the lekkies. Very tasty stout for this ABV, not cloying sweet and heavy but very drinkable. Again a nice beer from Hopsasam!
