(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

An orange beer with a nice orange head. The aroma is malty and slightly sour, while the flavor is plainly malty and the body thin. Boring.

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.
