Bottle from Geers, Oostakker. Pours hazy dark brown with an unstable, thin, frothy, off-white head. Aroma of pear syrup, prune, toffee, candied orange, dried tea leaves, liquorice. Taste has sweet candied fruit, pear, fig, red apple, prune, syrupy, biscuity & caramelly malty profile, balanced by phenolic & herbal bitter accents. Herbal hoppy finish, malty, more candied fruit, liquorice & some toast. Warming brown rum-like alcohol in the very end. Medium body, syrupy texture, fizzy carbonation. Somewhere between 'roasted' Belgian Strong Dark & actual Stout, but pleasant surprise by this 'classic' Belgian brewery.

An almost black beer, a head is quite big and yelloish beige. Aroma has fruitness and dried fruitness, prune, low roastiness. Taste has dried fruitness and roastiness, low spicyness. Medium bodied, fluffy. House flavour from Abbeye des Rocs is there, but the balance isn't very succesfully, the roastiness isn't fit very nicely there.
