pretty dark in the glass also the foam reddish colored but unfortunately quickly,
aroma of dark roasted malts, chocolate, biscuits and dark fruits, full of the drink bitter and sour co2 and esters after rolling. pretty good but have tasted better

Got this one at the Bierkoning in Amsterdam
From a bottle into a snifter
Best before November 2016
Warrior and Bramling cross hops
APPEARANCE: Clear dark brown, almost black pour yields a 1 ½ finger, medium looking, creamy, light tan head with great retention. Black body with no real carbonation evident. Head eventually fades to a half wisp and ring. Slight wisp remains but no real lacing. Good looking overall.
SMELL: Dark fruits, grapes for sure, raisins, chocolate aromas, toffee and berries on the nose. Bold enough. Interesting stuff.
TASTE: Dark fruity sweetness up front, with chocolate and leather flavors at the swallow. A bolder and lingering finish of grapes, raisins, dates, leather, dark chocolate and lightly burnt grains. Nice stuff and quite fruity for an export stout.
PALATE: Medium body and slightly higher carbonation. Creamy on the palate, goes down smooth and finishes slightly mouth coating. Good stuff here.
OVERALL: This is a fruit forward export stout with good notes of leather and cocoa in there. A good mouthfeel as well, making it an easy-drinker. This is a good brew overall and it’s well engineered, though for the style, I’d prefer a touch less fruit and a bit more dry cocoa from the chocolate malt. Not sure how much Bramling cross made it into this one, but perhaps those late additions could be toned back a bit. Still, this is quality stuff. Cheers!
