De Dolle Extra Export Stout

Brewed by De Dolle Brouwers
Style: Foreign Stout
Diksmuide, Belgium

Bottle (ZBF2008)
Black, small beige head. Toffee aroma. Rich burnt taste - very aromatic hops and winey too. Massive burnt aftertaste.

Bottle. Massive head, extremely carbonated. Nose of roasted malt mixed with fruit. Classic stout favors of coffee and roasted malts overshadowed by fruity sourness, hints of apricot turned to dark cherry as the beer warmed. Interesting and tasty beer. RERATE: had this beer again a couple of months later, focus was much more on the dark, roasted coffee flavors, more bitterness, without the fruity aspects. Preferred the first.

11.2 oz bottle from South Bay Drugs & Liquor. With only a soft and gentle pour this stout created a glass full of thick tanned foam and took several minutes before it turned into a liquid pitch black. For the aroma, it was pure scent of roasted malts and a touch of sweet foreign chocolate. The initial flavor is a tart and slightly sourness which then follows with roasty dark malt that suggest cocoa beans. One healthy tasting stout.

33cl bottle, from slob - thanks man! Pours black-ebony color and absolutely opaque, with a huge tan head that leaves thick lace. Roasty, roasty aroma, bitter chocolate and souring milk, dusty herbs, figs and florals. Flavor is unsweetened cocoa and espresso, prune juice, dandelion milk, bitter herbals, alcohol and anise. Full body and little carbonation.

2006 bottling. Black with a frothy 3 finger head. Good smell of roasted malts and licorice. Medium body. Good taste is blackened malts with roasted nuts with earthy cellar mustiness. Not too bad. 5317

Bottle courtesy of gunhaver. Pours a deep jet black with a head that doesn’t know when to stop. 4 finger head from a side of glass pour and it’s growing, wow this beer has a beautiful pour, the suds are dancing before my very eyes and the head is growing not shrinking. Aroma is dominant with coffee and chocolate and roasted barley. As I chew the head off of the foam of this beer I am reminded of the foam from a frappuccino from starbucks. After gnawing through the 3 inches of foam I finally get to taste the liquid. Taste is of chocolate, roasted b arley, coffee and roasted nuts with a nice bittersweet dark chocolate style finish. But wait, what is this I taste a little sourness as well. What a excellent surprise. Very good beer from de dolle, YUM!

Pours a near black with several inches of a khaki bubbly head. Aroma of malt and burnt sugar. Rather high carbonation which tingles on the tongue and throat. Some hints of chocolate, a good amount of yeast, burnt sugar, a slight amount nuttiness. A little alcohol burn in the finish. Very Good!

Pours a very dark purplish black with huge foamy beige head. Aroma of spice, chocolate malt, dark fruit, berries and figs. Very carbonated up front with lots of chocolate maltiness, followed by a smooth balance of spice and dark fruit. Lots of berry and fig. Dry sweet finish. Very complex and quit tasty!
