Hard to argue with that line of logic based on this one as sat alongside some peking duck, this was a real treat and thoroughly enjoyed throughout.
There may be a certain element of cloudy nostalgia based on the last time I was at this venue, but this one does actually share a fair bit of similarity with the excellent Mikkeller Dark Harvest collaboration recently on the taps. Beautiful roasty character is dominant here again but with a few tweaks from that drop also.
Solid black with just a tint of brown, it glowers heavyset in the glass. A nice bone mocha head serves up roasty hop and malt character but little else - Belgium is not dominant on the nose, but does come through about midway through the mouthful with an interesting punch of yeasty flavour before a crisp, clean finish that leaves you wanting more.
Dry, roasty, earthy, hoppy. Delicious and highly recommended if you see it on tap. 8.5
