Cool, fancied something dark tonight and I got Stouterik from De La Senne brewery standing at 4.5%. Its driving me nuts trying to place the aroma. It is malty, something roasted, a hint of burnt coffee and closest I can say is earthy charcoal to what I cant place. The taste is a whole lot less bitter than I expected, which is super nice actually. Malty, roasty and ultra dark chocolate. With little carbonation getting in the way, a medium texture and a pleasant light bitter aftertaste. This is a really nice stout and I already have little left in my glass. Plenty of character with simplicity.

Here we have Jambe-de-bois from De la senne brewery standing at 8%. Think I’ve had a few Triple’s this time around. As you can see the colour is a murky blonde and keeps a decent head. Aroma wise it is yeasty, some malt, alcohol and a zest of a fruit, an orange after another whiff. Taste also has those characteristics but the fruitiness of it dies down and its becomes more bitter, which is actually quite nice. The aftertaste is equally building on the bitter side and leaves you wanting more. The glass is emptying quite faster than I realised, so its quite drinkable too.
