Flesje gedeeld door Tomhendriksen en gedronken met Bart. Zwart bier met beige schuim. Aroma is koffie achtig. Smaak is plat, ietsje koffie achtig. Weinig nasmaak.
Frisch vom Hahn im Brewpub getrunken. Hatte jetzt aber nur noch 4,8% Schwarz im Glas ohne große Schaumentwicklung. Leicht wässrig mir sehr zurückhaltenden Röstaromen.
Bottle at home from trip to Amsterdam a deep brown colour beer with tan head aroma is chocolate flavour is malty hints of coffee sweet chocolate syrup and slightly creamy
Draft - Dark chocolate and some syrup. Jet black with a small beige head. Sweet dark chocolate and lots of raisin notes.
Tap @ Proeflokaal de Prael, Amsterdam VI 2017. Licht moutige rokerige geur. Met een zacht rokerige smaak eindigend in een bittertje. Redelijk vloeibaar donker bruine olie achtige kleur met een crème kleurige schuimkraag. Vlotte doordrinker. Smaakt gewoon rokerig turf, koffie, chocolade geroosterd en een beetje bitter, voor dit type bier gewoon top :-) Origineel glas
Tap @ Brewpub. Pours dark brown with a tan head. Aromas and flavours of roasted malt, chocolate and caramel. Sweet and roasted finish.
33cl bottle picked up at the brewery bottle shop and poured into a snifter at home on 05-Jan-2017. Dark brown colour with a medium sized beige coloured head. Aroma of cocoa and malt, Medium body and carbonation. Chocolate malt taste although the alcohol isn’t that well hidden. Light sweetness in the finish.
Da garrafa: escura, quase preta, com uma bela espuma marrom, de boa duração. Aroma de malte torrado, notas de café, leite, um pouco de chocolate, frutas. O sabor é um pouco ácido, doce, notas de malte torrado, café, leite e chocolate. Bem cremosa, corpo médio, baixa carbonatação. Final frutado, ácido, interessante.
On tap at De Prael Proeflokaal, Amsterdam. Pours black with creamy beige head. Roasted malts, sweetish, milk, some chocolate. Medium bodied.
Sampled from tap at the brewpub. Black with a beige head. Sweetish, slightly roasty aroma of coffee, milk chocolate and caramel. Quite sweet, slightly roasty taste of caramel, chocolate and some coffee, followed by a short, slightly roasty-bitter finish. Medium body, slightly creamy mouthfeel, soft carbonation. Quite okay!
De Prael, Amsterdam. Stringy foam. Stale milk and coffee, eggy mess. Odd lactic, straight kahlua or irish cream. Weak body. Rather disgusting.
Bottle 33 cl from z’Bierhuus - Münsingen (CH). Black beer with a low foam and soft aromas of choc-coffee, candied fruits, roasted and note of smoked. The taste is soft, acidulated-vinous, with caramel, choc-coffee, lactose. It’s very malted, not very long with a point of smoke and bitter dryness.
Not a bad Milk Stout. Rather creemy aroma with a nice thick texture. I rather enjoyed it.
Donker / zwart van kleur. Cremekleurige royale schuimkraag.....fijne belletjes. Blijft snel een klein laagje van over. Aroma zoetig, beetje geroosterde mouten, ver weg wat koffie / choco. Smaak is zoet en zurig tegelijk (lactose), een koffie/chocolade hint. Flink zoet in de nasmaak en prikkeling op de zijkant van je tong. Bitter totaal niet... erg hoppig ook niet. Iets waterig, veel koolzuur en de afdronk is zoet. Drink redelijk makkelijk.

Bottle:Black as ink, stable off-white layer; sourish fruity and toasty nose, traces of liquorice and chocolate underneath; moderate sourish-sweet flavour, light to medium bodied; lingering sourish-fruity finish, some toasty traces included. Pleasant drink, not too demanding…
