Bottle with a marked as best before date of 2011 and 8.2% ABV. Pours with a large, creamy, khaki over a murky brown body, that is more the hue of a barely wine than a stout. Full retention. Aroma of chocolate, concorde grape, fig, dark fruits, more chocolate, metal and umami. Taste is chocolate, cocoa, yeast, light smoke, currants, raisins, and dark fruits. Medium bubbles and a water like mouthfeel. Good Belgian Stout. Not a mild stout as my label suggested.

33cl bottle from the Wine Company, Slough. Hazy amber with a billowing white head; lots of yeast on the aroma but also some bread and cloves; buttery texture with all the correct ingredients - sweet malts, sharp hops and lightly spiced Belgian yeast. Pleasantly warming finish. A good example of a Belgian Blond.

pours dark brown, with frothy white head. This bottle seem to have some age on it. The aroma was just superb, light bitter chocolate with aged fruits nose of dark cherries giving the aroma a subtle oak like nose. Taste was outstanding as well, very sweet, plenty of dark fruits, Starts off sweet followed by light bitter notes finishing with a light coat of chocolate, cocoa nibs mouthfeel. Enjoyable from beginning to end

2006 bottle at Oud Arsenal in Antwerp, pours dark brown with a tall tan head. Aroma is of roasted malt, and liqorice. Brown sugar and malt body with a touch of liqorice and spice in the finish. Enjoyable.

bottle, mine says 8.2% abv - Pours amber with a thin, lingering tan head. The aroma is led by some fruity yeast and has some roast malt in the background. The flavor is of chocolate malt and dark fruit. It finishes mildly bitter with lingering chocolate flavors on the palate. I haven’t had many Belgian stouts and understand that they are very different from the stouts to which most of us are accustomed. This one works very well though. It’s also so easy to drink and the 8.2% abv is buried. I would be easy and enjoyable to throw back several of them. Of course then that 8%+ abv would hit.

[33cl bottle] Hazy, golden colour with a huge and dense foamy white head. Yeasty, sweet malty and orange-fruity aroma with flowery and nettle-spicy hoppy notes. Moderately sweet and bitter flavour, medium bodied with a well-carbonated and matured mouthfeel. Malty and moderately citrus-fruity taste. Dry and slightly fruity finish with an increasing hoppy bitterness [10.I.09].

Aroma is fruity, yeasty and quite malty. Flavour is very soft and quite malty. Quite a sweet beer but with a slightly yeasty, spicy finish. [br]4/7/2013: Has a malty aroma and a strong bready and malty taste. Moderately sweet. Soft, slightly creamy feel.

Bottle. Brown-red color. Big white head. Smells sweet choclate. Fruity and choclaty taste. Roasted flavors, but in a much sweeter way comparing to your regular imperial stout.

On draught. Deep ruby with scant brown head. Aroma of chocolate-flavored coffee. Taste of roasted malt and almonds, toffee late. Roasted chestnut finish, quite long-lasting. Good one, should age quite well.
