Super dark brown/black pour with minimal tan head. Nose reveals roasted/burnt malts, coffee notes, and a bitter cocoa sweetness. Flavor is bold with roasted malts, star anise, and bitter chocolate. Has many dry stout qualities, and even brings to mind the flavor profile of a Koff Porter. Mouthfeel is quite nice, with ample carbonation to keep the boldness from becoming too much ... making it rather drinkable. Solid brew.

Bottle. Pours a deep dark brown with a small creamy tan head. aroma of dark malts, chocolate, coffee, dark fruit, and has a hint of raisins. Flavor was dark roasted malts, mild coffee, dark chocolate, dark fruit, and some caramel with a full body and has a slightly bitter finish.

I liked this one much more than Jazz88 did. I thought the roasted, coffee, and rich chocolate flavors were nicely blended, with a decent bitter touch. Reasonably rich palate. But not everyone is so taken with this porter-like Christmas beer. Works for me.

Thx to Glenn tasted on Alvinne. Bottle, 50 cl. Black color, with small sticky head. Aroma bit smoked, malts, fruits. Medium body. Taste dry, roasted malts like an thin stout, bit coffee. Ending bitter. and little smoked.

Bottle. Pours a dark brune body with a tan head. Sweet woody cherry and coco malt. Has an utterly delicious aroma, just killer! Chewy chocolate and coco body with a light coffee bitterness and a lightly smoky maple oak with licorice accents to finish. Nice lingering mineral porter like character as well. Awesome brew.

Batch 191 Medium dark-beige head over practically black beer. Coffee, blackcurrantleaves, valerian, caramel and burnt sugarsyrup, chicory extract. Dry, nearly dusty coffeetaste, Haagse Hopjes (kind of coffee sweets). Generally roasted and quite sweet: liquorice in the finish. Warming up, more hopflavour. Very well bodied, bit spritzy, creamy-viscous MF. A bit... predictable.
