I was also doubting about the dark beers that look like a coke, however this one really made my day. Creamy body and great brown foam, taste is a great combination, coffe and chocolate plus the roasted malt, wow the result is excellent.

33 cl bottle, bought in Oostende - shared with Roger. Dark brown, almost black, color. Lovely creamy light brown head. Aroma is roasted malt, dried dark fruit, coffee, chocolate. Flavor is roasted malt, dried dark fruit, fine sweetness, coffee, chocolate. Very fine aftertaste of roasted malt and hops - ending with a dry mouthfeel. Nice, but maybe a bit watery...

Bottle. Dark brown, beige head. Aroma of brown sugar, roasted malts, coffee and chocolate. Flavours are the same, with addition of some dark fruits, bitter finish. Fullbodied and smooth.

Bottle courtesy Trappistenbier. Thanks Filip. Pours black with a large tan head that leaves great lacing. Aroma of roasted malt, dark fruit, coffee, and chocolate. Taste is the same as aroma but less prominent. Medium thin mouthfeel with a mild to moderate amount of bitterness and smooth alcohol Very good.

[1251-20080404] 330mL bottle. Sweet malt aroma with mild wood and very faint chocolate hints. Dark dark brown body with a long-lasting creamy tan head. Sweet bitter dates and fig flavour with roasted malt notes. Full body is smooth. Enjoyable.
