Bottle from Gedeelde Vreugde (presumably). Cloudy black, stable, foamy, dark beige head. Aroma of fondant, cinnamon, gingerbread, black pepper, vanilla, bourbon, clove, chili sauce, teriyaki. Taste has sweet fig & date in a dark-chocolatey, pecan-nutty and toasty malt body with hints of spicy cinnamon and umami soy sauce. Black-peppery, earthy hoppy finish, lingering coffee roast, a soft chili burn and warming bourbon-like alcohol. Full body, oily texture, average carbonation. Another solid Laugar stout.
