On tap @ Brewda 2015, small sample. Dark red-brown color. Aroma’s: ROAST, lots of it, ground coffee. Retronasal it’s the same with additional light sweetness. Flavor is moderate sweet, heavy roast, light sour. Medium bodied. Finishes with more roast, moderate bitter. Maybe too much coffee, but I liked it anyway.
Re-rate almost 7 years later (although it was canned in Jan 2021). Pours pitch black with a big dark brown head, a small layer retention. Arom's: heavily roasted, coffee, berries. Retronasal follows this mostly, with some bitterness from the roast. Flavour is moderate roasted bitter with a light sweet note and a touch of coffee/berry sourness. Smooth mouthfeel. Roasted, almost burned finish, coffee, bitter. Still quite rought, but I like it.

Draft sample @ Oersoep Bierfest 2015, Nijmegen @ Stoom. Brune foncée, presque noire, col moka restant léger. Arôme offre un bouquet malté tirant sur le chocolaté, note grillée en rétro nasal avec un accompagnement épicé. Palais au profil plaisant, grillé, chocolaté assez épais, le tout garde une impression de barrique. Palais tire cependant sur un léger côté café presque moka. L’amertume est minimaliste apportant juste une petite touche houblonné. Le chocolat et le côté grillé restent le point fort de ce stout.

Draft sample @ Oersoep Bierfest 2015, Nijmegen. Trouble orangée, crémeux beige. Arôme au bouquet fruité léger levure, malt moyen pils, rétro tropical fort plaisant rappelant le fruit de la passion voire la papaye? Palais est houblonné, léger agrumes vert, malt moyen avec une certaine épaisseur en bouche et une fine amertume noble et tropicale.

Sampled draft from Stoom during Oersoep Craft Beer Festival 2015. Black, big mocha head. Nose is huge on roast, mocha, chocolate, big bark, heavy roast. Taste is big chocolate, roasted mocha, licorice, quite burned, charred coffee, charcoal finish,… Charcoal & licorice body. Okay but rather too heavy on the roast, far too much plus it has a bit too much licorice for me but still not too bad.

Sampled draft @ Oersoep Craft Beer Festival 2015. Milky golden, big white head. Nose is milky yeast, mineral, fruity, mellow hops & touch yoghurt. Taste is milky, fruity, lightly floral, fruity, touch exotic fruity. Yeasty body. Nice but too heavy like many Session IPA’s in my opinion.

Pale yellow with thin head. Good beer with the yeasty sweetness of a Tripel and mild peppery taste of a Saison.
