"Had this at a local BA’s house. Very kind of him to open this up. Served just below room temp into a Riedel Snifter: A - No head, brown bubbles lingered around the edge of the glass. The beer was black as hell. No brown or amber hints at all. S - The smell is DFH’s World Wide Stout and Brew Dog’s Tokyo hooked up and made whoopie. Lots of figs, vanilla, raisin and cupcakes. T - Lots of malt, some toffee and sugar. I’m getting a a ton of burnt on the finish with some hints of banana. M - Huge carbonation and lots of lingering. It’s quite the heavy beer. O - This beer is still too sweet. Maybe lay it down for a while and wait. I bet this would be a great beer 2 years out."

(28.01.2012) 2010 Vintage (vampire edition) 750 ml. bottle sampled @ RBWG 2012 – thx to Klaas – pitch black with a mocha head, smells of roasted malts, dark fruits, mocha, slight molasses & chocolate plus cocoa, taste is bitter followed by a nice sweetness afterwards, similar to smell, roasted malts, dark fruits, mocha, only this time around lots of chocolate here, solid but thick with dark fruits, mocha & touch of hops in the finish, sludgy coffee, soft carb. yummy stuff (07.05.2017) Thanks! Tried a 2016 Vintage. I should have taken notes because it was just very weak, thin, poor for an RIS, no complexity,.... Very subpar,.... No proper notes or score.

Vampire, 2010
Jet black beer, disappearing tan head. Aroma of burned malts, mocha, chocolate and vanilla. Rather sweet flavour, chocolate, malts, light bitter coffee. Thick oily texture, finish rather sweet, with roasted malts and some wood tones. Nice!
(From 75cL bottle @ RBBWG 2012, Antwerpen. Thanks for sharing, Klaas!)

Split can. Poured a rich reddish-brown ale color, small off-white head. Aroma was mostly sweet, with notes of caramel, touch nuttiness. Relatively run of the mill.
