33cl bottle from AbeerVinum, Rimini, Italy. Pours dark brown, with very fine cappuccino foam. Aroma is roasty, coffee, earthy. Body and carbonation are average. Taste is roasty bitter, but with a dry final.

Cloudy brown pour from planet wine bottle - dark fruit, caramel, licorice slight smoke malt

Cloudy orange yellow pour. Sugar, fruits. Some butter citrus from the hops. Pretty enjoyable

Draft. Probably out of a keg that’s been open too long. Poured amber, some spices etc, mine was flat but i’m blaming the keg not the beer.

Pours jet black or almost so, though with a reddish hint if seen through light. Low to medium sized head, of a surprisingly clean white colour for such a dark beer. Decent retention, nice lacing. Not much intensity in an aroma that suggest a very dry beer: a very lightly perceptible roasted malts base, with just a hint of coffee and unsweetened dark chocolate, strong leafy hops (bitter tea-like leafiness), pretty much nothing else. More intensity in taste, indeed VERY dry. Barely perceptible roasted malts notes (as per aroma), dominant dry hoppiness, some leafy tea-like notes to it but mainly just a neutral bitterness flavour wise. A clean, well defined and rather intense taste, but a very unbalanced one; i get bitter and dry, but this is almost nothing more than just that, with flavours muted down by excessive dryness. Light to medium bodied, light to medium carbonation, rather smooth in mouthfeel with a hint of soft creaminess (though, again, a quite good mouthfeel cannot shine against such a dominant feeling). Overall: still drinkable, it's not a spoiled beer and i actually got slightly used to it by the last sips, but very muted down in all the elements that make a porter/stout pleasurable.

On tap at Moeder Lambic Fontainas. Pours clear gold with a white head. Sweet malts and doughy hops on the nose. Flavour has dry Belgian yeast, a bit herbal, dry grass. Very nice.
