Bottle share at RBBWG 2017, thanks for sharing. Ambrée/cuivre, col beige. Arôme au nez malté avec un agréable bouquet de chocolat-caramel recoupés par de belles effluves de feuilles de menthe. Cette dernière apporte une sensation de fraicheur. Palais prend les base de la Wonderland e garde un effet poudreux de poudre de cacao avec une petite pointe adoucie de lactose qui n’est pas pour déplaire tant est reste discrète. Le côté menthe apporte, ici aussi, une sensation de fraicheur qui se prête bien au chocolat.
Sampled at the RBBWG2017 . Thnx for sharing, everyone ! Pours dark brown, very clear. Not much head. Smell is fresh, minthy, mild cocoa. Taste is bit minthy.Mild cocoa. OK .
Small yellow-cream head over clear cola-coloured beer. Cacao, cacaobeans, vanillabeans, mint, chocolate. Mint & chocolate vying for domination, whilst the vanilla wins out. Medium bodied at best, bit slick, low carbonation. After Eight bottled. Meeegh.

25/II/17 - 50cl bottle @ RBBWG (Beerlovers Bar, Antwerpen) - BB: 16/IX/17 (2017-200) Thanks to 77ships for sharing the bottle!
Clear deep brown beer, small creamy irregular beige head, little stable, bit adhesive. Aroma: lots and lots of chocolate, sweet, some caramel, bit spicy, cinnamon, bit artificial. MF: ok carbon, medium body. Taste: lots of milk chocolate, bit artificial flavourings, slightly sourish, bit hoppy and bitter. Aftertaste: chocolate, caramel, vanilla, crème brulée, slightly sweet. I guess it must be me, I'm not getting much mint in it. Luckily, I'd say. :p
Bottle @ RBBWG 2017. Many thanks! Brown colour, beige foam. Nose of roasted malts, cocoa, coffee. Light minty notes. Some tartness also. Unbalanced, bit thin. Not very nice.
Bottled@Post-Xmas-Saveur-Xmas-Calendar party. Black colour, small beige head. Aroma is chocolate, mint, cocoa and some slight toasted notes. Flavour is quite similar with the chocolate kicking in bigtime.
500 mml bottle tasted on the 14/12/2016. Cola colour with a medium white head. Aroma of mint, flowers and cocoa-powder. Taste is cocoa-powder, malts, mint and hops. The beginning is fresh and palatable but in the end wears down. Next one please!
