Bottle at home. Aroma is roasted malt, piney hops, coffee, liquorice, dark chocolate, citrus. Flavour is moderate to medium sweet with a solid roasty hoppy bitter finish. Body is medium to full. Pleasant and smooth hoppy Imperial Stout with lots of liquorice and coffee notes.

From tap at Oersoep Craft Beer Festival 2016. Aroma is massive coffee, mocha, coffee beans, slight cream. Flavour is light sweet and moderate to medium roasty bitter. Medium bodied. Not hoppy enough to be called Black IPA, this is all about the daily grind.

From tap at Het Klooster, Delft. Aroma is sweet roasted malt, lots of dark chocolate, mocha, caramel fudge, coffee, chocolate brownies, and a little alcohol. Flavour is quite sweet with a roasty bitterness. Body is full. Heavy and sticky dessert Porter, on the sweet side with a hint of booze. Good!

Review based on the BJCP2021 guidelines (style 16D). Bottle 33 cl - Batch 1681 (BB: 02/2026). AROMA: initial medium-low metallic note that fades. medium to medium-high dark malts with notes of dark chocolate, slight coffee and roasted grain. medium-low sweet background giving it a slight coffee-and-cream profile. low hop citrus-like note. APPEARANCE: very dark brown color with slight ruby highlights. medium-low beige head with medium-low retention. TASTE: initial medium-low roasted malt (dark chocolate) followed by low citrus-like hops. the tasting evolves into a medium-high burnt flavor with medium-high bitterness and a dry finish. MOUTHFEEL: medium to medium-low body with medium-low to low carbonation. slight astringency. OVERALL: a stout with good notes but with an excessive burnt character.
