Black with a lasting off-white head, leaving some lace. Roast aroma with oak at the front, backed up by licorice and chocolate notes. Smooth chocolate flavour with tannins and oak flavours, and a note of charcoal roastedness. The oak impression is really smooth fresh wood, but with a good tannin bite. Soft carbonation and a full body makes it a wonderful beer to sip

from cask at the brewery 2008. Nose remainds me of Goudenband and aged St Bernardus Abt. Very fruity, fresh but with hints of raisins or dried fruits. The flavour is like portwine at first but due to CO2 it is still a beer. Suddenly the impression changes completly into a rather strong and very dry beer. The hopps attack the sugar content. The taste lingered on for more than 30 minutes. Needs some more balancing between sweetnes and dry finish but i’m impressed!

EBF2008. It’s a very dark brown beer with a red hue. The aroma has sourness and notes of roasted malt, berries and a little yeast. The flavour has a light sourness, a roasted bitterness and a light sweetness. It has notes of roasted malt, licorice, wood, berries, dark fruits, caramel and it has a very long finish, that ends rather dry. It’s very nice and complex.

From cask at EBF 08. Roasted, but good dark fruits which are a tad syrupy. Some spice on the finish. It’s a very good impy stout. Good raisiny molasses dates flavour.

Mahogany body colour. Beige tophead. Sweet, vinous vapour. Sweet dark fruits in flavour supported by oaky vanilla. Enough of spicy tartness to prevent it from being too sweet. Hidden alcohol. Well crafted brew (Sampled from a wooden barrel at EBF, 13.09.2008).
