(Bottle 25 cl) I believe it was the blue colour on the label that somehow made me expect a witbier. But this is far from it. Amber-coloured, very dry with a strong hop-finish. Nice and quenching. 280695

Bottled. Very black with rich brown head. Aroma of winegums along with coffee. Extremely sweet and candyish. Only drinkable in very small sips.

BBd is 5/03, so it's still original and another for posterity... Colour is black, with disparate, dark-brown head. nose of sweet molasses, brown sugar and some tobacco. Taste is very sweet, liquorice, like very sugared mocca-coffee with coffee milk. Even with the little head, there is some carbonation which gives a reasonable balance. Mouthfeel is all body, all malt and no alcohol. This is a difficult taste for the usual beerrater, but in its style (sweet stout) it is rather a good one. A slight bitterness in the palate might have improved it, but the balance sweet-sour is OK.

Dark ale, thick head. Quite pleasant but uncommon aroma (some roasted malt, other grains -rye?-, wet paper). Sweet, enough body, very light roasted malt taste, easy to drink but without character. Simple palate.

Pale orange coloured. Thick with vanilla notes and some lemongrass aroma.
