Mar 4, 2007 Draught: Poured a dark black/brown with a thick fast acting tan head. The aroma was very sweet candy like, many hints of liquorice, caramel, and roasted malt. The taste was similar and very impressive. Not to mention its name is a tongue twister if I ever seen one.

Feb 26, 2007 Aroma of chocolate, raisins, coffee, and licorice. Black with a large tan head. Flavors of roasted malt, chocolate, and a strange dark fruit. Mouthfeel is thin for the style.

Feb 24, 2007 Holiday Wine, Escondido 8/06. Dark pour with brown head. Belgian yeasty aroma upfront with some chocolate in the background. Sweet with some quadruple characteristics. Wish I had a hercule stout at the same time to compare them side by side.

Feb 21, 2007 12 oz bottle. I poured in just a splash to my tulip glass, and the whole glass seemed to instantly fill with caramel-colored foam. No liquid whatsoever. 15 minutes later, the beer was finally emptied into the glass, and I was ready to drink it! Strong coffee in both the aroma and the flavor. Malty, kind of smoky. Thin on the palate. Not great, probably the worst De Dolle beer I’ve had.

Feb 20, 2007 Draft, Max’s 3rd Annual Belgian Beer Festival. Pours a dark brown center; white head with fine-bubbled lacing. Milk chocolate, tartness, and vanilla in the aroma. Lively carbonation; medium-to-full mouthfeel: plenty of roasted malts, dark chocolate; tart, vanilla and burnt malt character. Long, dark chocolate and funky vanilla finish. Tasty stuff.

Feb 13, 2007 Bottle. Poured black with a abundant tan head that began to dissapate after pour; left a small tan head. Aroma of roasted malt, caramel, chocolate, and butterscotch. Flavor of chotolate and some coffee notes. A bit more carbonation than I would have preferred but it could be the style.
