Jun 23, 2008 Drunk to celebrate my rating number 10,700. Bottled. A black beer with a deep red shine under a huge dark brown head. The aroma is sweet with notes of spices and fruit, as well as lighter notes of phenol, chocolate, herbs, and alcohol - a very complex aroma. The flavor is sweet malty with notes of chocolate, caramel sauce, roasted malt, herb, vanilla, and alcohol - I guess it can be reduce to an ice cream topping of world class. The finish is dry and roasted - and you don’t notice the 100 IBU, they are hidden behind the roasted malt and alcohol. The mouthfeel is very smooth. Lovely.

May 30, 2008 Draught at the Struise farm. Opaque black, firm creamy head.Aroma of black currant and licorice. Swet and fryuty with coffee, tobacco, caramel and dextrose. While there are massive amounts of interesting flavour in here it also suffers a little from the Mikkeller Black syndrome - sharp dextrose sweetness. Here it is far from as overpowering, leaving much more room for other flavours. It’s surprisingly slim for a beer of it’s size and remains drinkable. Slight inky finish - sort of orange juice and tooth paste.

Rich dark brown body with a dark brown head. The aroma is chocolately, fudgey. The body is very thick...rich decadent stuff. The Belgian malts are definitely in evidence here, with the smoothness and softness. It goes down brilliantly. The hops are understated. The roast is relatively subtle - in some ways it reminds me of a cafecito for the thick, sweet body and intensity without astringency. Such a complex, silky, well-rounded example is genuinely worth your attention.

Jun 19, 2008 Bottle. A black beer with a huge brown head, good looking! The aroma is quit vinious, moderat roastiness, bitter chocolate and coffee, some fruitiness. The taste is soft and hides the 13% qoit well, Here is also aa vinious feel to it, chocolate and coffee again, fruits and hops. Medium to full body with a smooth soft warming finish.
