| 3.5 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 15/20 | Jul 31, 2009 Bottle via the Sloth in trade. Labeled as Tournay Black. These beer tasting notes made it thru the wash! Full pour yeilds a slate black body with a dense white head. Fizzy but settles down. Some brownish trub on bottom of my new favorite glass from Gahan. Some ruby tones on edges of glass let just a skoash of light thru. Nose has a base of plums and dark malts with a whisp or two of coffee.......The old coffee ingredient overindulgence fear arises yet again. Thankfully this is dashed to the rocks by the hearty body of choco-patent-toffee. Body is shortlived but has an extended finish of decreasing dryness. Hops are subdued but endure into finish.

The noel was good and so is this. A bit charcoal stouty. Black body iwth thick tan head. Really drinkable. Smooth in mouth. Good bitterness on finish. Excellent stout and there was me thinking that the Belgians couldn’t make stouts. Good stuff this. plovmand (1692), Helsinge, Denmark

Caramel, yeast, fruit, light roasted malt in aroma. Light roasty yet powerfull flavour with burned caramel, ripe fruit, raisin, belgian yeast, bitter spicy hops and some chocolate. Bit confusing tasting palate. Full bodied. BeerGestapo (740), Windsor, Pennsylvania, USA
| 3.6 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 15/20 | May 17, 2009 Brewed in Belgium........ Pours a very dark brown color with a thin off white head. Aroma of dark malts, bitter chocolate and fruit. The taste is malty with some chocolate notes, brown sugar, dry fruit and spices. The mouthfeel is zesty at first, but then becomes kind of dry at the finish. Overall, I would say this is a very interesting stout but not the kind that you are used too.
