UPDATED: DEC 26, 2021 Bevuta in bottiglia. Birra scura con una bella schiuma persistente. Non sentonparticolari aromi. Leggero amaro finale. Buona.

UPDATED: NOV 13, 2021 An extra kind of tartness to it. Light and sharp, no bitterness. Billiest bf antwerp

UPDATED: OCT 19, 2021 Pours almost pitch black with a medium sized light brownish/yellowish head (strangely low sized for de dolle). Good retention and nice lacing. Nice and fairly complex aroma: light roasted malts among a brown sugar feel, strong chocolate notes, slight coffee, a fruity (dried red fruits?) undertone, a warming feel. Taste is a bit less satisfying than the smell suggested. The aroma notes are more or less still there (plus slight spiciness), but not as cleanly layered as in the aroma. There's quite too much of a sweet foundation in my opinion, with brown sugar getting a bit dominant. Overall taste experience: quite high sweetness, average bitterness, with a still balanced mouthfeel and a sweet aftertaste. Feels comforting, with a light hint of alcohol warmth. Medium to dense body, with average or slightly sub-average carbonation, resulting in a semi-full but quite smooth mouthfeel. As with many belgian stouts, this is actually something in between a stout and a classic belgian strong ale.

UPDATED: OCT 5, 2021 33cl bottle from a Prik & tik store in Roeselare, Belgium drinking 5/10/2021 BB <FEB2023 according to cap Pours a black body with large, long lasting brown head on top and really great lacing. Aroma of roasted malts, cocoa and chocolate. Taste is rich and complex with roasted malt, chocolate and coffee, caramel, some burnt and smoked note. Moderate sweet with good intense bitter finish. Medium body and creamy texture, medium carbonation. Quite warm and strong at 9% abv and great flavours. Very good belgian stout.

UPDATED: OCT 2, 2021 Tap at Åben. Black, low brown head. Candy and flower nose. Medium full dry body, rural notes, mellow, licorice, roast retronasal.

UPDATED: MAY 8, 2021 Coffe and red fruit in smell and in taste. Also Liquorice, some chocolate and smoked malt in the taste. very tasty beer. One setback was opening the bottle and pooring it in a glass. The beer was instantly heavy foaming after opening andmade a big mess as both glass andbottle were overfoaming.

UPDATED: APR 17, 2021 Dark brown, non-see through appearance, mahogany brown head, which lasts, aroma notes of alcohol, stone fruit, coffee and burnt notes, taste follows the aroma, but the burnt, bitter coffee taste is not dominant and only appears as after taste. Very good beer, but not a classic stout, a bit lighter than the average.

UPDATED: MAR 5, 2021 Donker rood/bruin bier met smaken en aroma's van roos fruit, chocolade en zoethout en zelfs een beetje rokerig. Een beetje droog qua mondgevoel en licht rinsig.
