| 4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 16/20 | Dec 12, 2009 Black with medium, light brown head. Very malty nose with alcohol and vanilla oakiness. Flavor is dominated by alcohol, but smoothened by loads of vanilla, herbs, and malt sweetness. Sweetness is not overpowering, though, and also burnedness is in control. Very full body with almost no carbonation. Clearly more pleasant than regular Black, but I still wouldn’t drink much of this at once. NoiZe (1382), Mooi Zeist, Netherlands
