Bottled May 2018. Dark brown colour, almost black, small brown head. Aroma is cocoa, funky, peat, some spices. Alcohol does not disturb. Medium sour, light bitterness. Looks like an infection. Decent.

Zwart bier met weinig schuim. Smaak is warm en bitter met vaag iets van sherry. Verder fijne rook en een heel licht zure bijsmaak en licht romig in de mond. Gewoon een goed bier, maar niet exceptioneel.

Zwart bier met weinig schuim. Smaak is bitter met in het begin erg veel rook wat later wat aangenamer wordt. Licht zoet met iets van koffie en vanille maar uiteindelijk overheerst de rooksmaak iets te veel vind ik. Ik ben wat minder enthousiast dan eerdere recensisten omdat de rooksmaak iets te veel overheerst.

Bottled 11-2017. Pours pitch black, with a thin sliver of light brown foam. Smells roasty and earthy. Taste is pretty roasty, very bitter, some licorice root. Mouthfeel is unfortunately extremely thin for the ABV, pity. Not bad, not good.
