Stout is an old-fashioned beer, but still popular in English speaking countries. Upon request by the American brewer, we brew Stout a couple of times a year, with roasted malt, caramel malt and pale malt, Nugget hops and the same fermentation as Oerbier. The combination of all that is a bitter, tart beer, with character. It could have been drunk in England or Ireland some 200 years ago. Cheers !

33cl bottle from some bottle shop somewhere in Belgium. Pours dark brown to black with a huge beige head. Roasty aroma with chocolate, dried, dark fruits, licorice, hints of coffee, spices, Belgian yeast, caramel and nuts. Medium sweet, surprisingly flavourful and quite complex. Finishes fairly bitter. Almost fizzy, at least very lively carbonation, a bit too much for my taste, but altogether a very nice beer.

Draught: Poured a dark black/brown with a thick fast acting tan head. The aroma was very sweet candy like, many hints of liquorice, caramel, and roasted malt. The taste was similar and very impressive. Not to mention its name is a tongue twister if I ever seen one.

Courtesy of Blazer06. Pours deep dark brown with thin tan head. The aroma is sweet with black licorice, prunes, boysenberries, black strap molasses, ripe dark grapes and some chocolate around the edges. The taste is just as sweet with malts, black strap molasses and dark fruitiness leading into mild smokiness too. The carbonation is high pushing up the flavors to a bright level. Tasty stuff but could have less carbonation.

Pours a deep, barely transparent sable that is chocolaty brown near the bottom of my glass mug. Head is quite thick, light tan and rather persistent. (The head was HUGE with my first pour!) Aroma is smoky with strong coffee and unsweetened chocolate tones as well as hints of malt, hops and even a touch of fruit. Mouth-filling flavor is like fine roast coffee with citrus and nutty hints and touches of unsweetened chocolate and caramel, simply lip-smacking. Texture is thick, smooth and fizzy. A winner!

330 ml capped bottle. Poured an opaque almost black with hints of burgundy coloured Stout with a slight guhsing two fingers thick tan creamy foamy head that had a huge retention and tons of micro bubbles. Soft carbonation. Good lacing. The aroma is rich, roasted malts, coffee, caramel, chocolate, candied red fruits, cherries, raisins and spicy. The flavour is a rich malty base with roasted malts, molasses, red fruits, cherries, raisins, spicy , licorice and a touch of sourness. The mouthfeel is creamy, very smooth and "thick ". This medium to full bodied Stout has a roasted and bitter coffee beans finish. A powerful tasting " Extra " Stout. I like it.

I read the bottle and I started to think....this is a Belgian Guinness. You can never go wrong with a Guinness. The pour started off well with a very dark brown beer filling the glass. A thin brown head topped it all off. The aroma was dark malt, roasted coffee, and butterscotch. The flavour was malty, sweet bitterscotch, and a bitter finish. Not as well balanced as Guinness, but a very good beer.

330 ml bottle, as De Dolle Special Extra Export Stout, kindly shared by my beerpal Jan Magnus. ABV is 9%. Pitch black colour, big tan head. First a fairly moderate but very nice roasty aroma (gets even better as the beer warms up a little) with some vinous notes, hints of dark dried fruits and leather. The flavour is also vinous, oaky and roasty, hints of raisins, coffee and liquorice. Overall brilliant.

Yeah....definitely be careful cause this one is heavily carbonated. After reading the reviews, I took it out of the fridge for about ten minutes. Then I poured about half the bottle very slowly, which still produced a decent amount of light mocha colored head on top of the dark black appearance. Champagne-like on the pour, so then I smelled the beer. Hmmmm.....smelled like champagne too. I thought that maybe since it was in my mind already I was associating with champagne, but went back and yup....still there. So now I go to taste and which is slightly different than many stouts I'm used to. Unlike the sweet and many dry stouts, this had some sour notes. After a bit I am getting nice chocolate malty flavors, but unique to most Americanized stouts. Drinks smoothly for a 9%. I am liking this more towards the end (noticing both malts and hops more).

Bottle from Knightly. Not quite black, a deep brown color (although looks black once in the glass) and pours with a thick tan head with nice retention. The aroma is charcoal, leather, vanilla, wood, definitely some campfire smokey scent in there. Flavors are peppery and roasty but easy drinking and even a tad thin. The flavors do pick up with a lot of what’s going on in the aroma, tobacco, wood, smoke with the addition of chocolate, black coffee, and caramel. Not all that complex. I’d say this one is good but not great.
