Blind-tasted except for the beer's name and brewery/country, zero reviews below read (yet!)...
L- Pours pitch black, even held to the light not a photon gets through it. 15mm deep tan head of fine-bubble foam; lookin' good!
S- Toasty and charred and I think this has cocoa notes going on.
T- Follows the smell^ pretty much exactly. The cocoa is more like roast cocoa nibs (beans) that any kind of refined chocolate, so it's quite intense and to the dry side. It's nice I can imagine this accompanying a hearty winter Irish stew.
F- Pungent and on the dry side. (Don't count on reviewing anything too delicate after drinking this one.). Should pair well with robust/rich food, from curry to blue cheese...
O- Nice to have a stout that is 0% like Guinness hehe. This has character, boldness, some sense of reward for the palate.
Review/scoring all done, now the reveal, I get to read the bottle lables to see what I missed! ===> Labeled helpfully in English too! It notes coffee, chocolate, liquorice, smooth, full-bodied, roasty. Top fermented, bottle refermented, unfiltered, unpasteurised.
330ml bottle BB: 19/03/2020+2years. Euro3.99 Bought from BeerMania/Belgium as part of a large pick-your own consignment to London. #1893.
