Dit gastronomische degustatiebier is ongezien complex. Chocolade, rijpe en gedroogde vruchten en tertiaire aroma’s zoals bosgeuren zijn duidelijk waarneembaar. De smaak en nasmaak is extreem rond en versmolten. Dit bier is een stout, en dankt zijn bitterheid voornamelijk door het gebruik van geroosterde mout.

330ml bottle that pours a dark brown colour with ruby highlights, a mocha-coloured head, decent stay and some foamy lacing spots. Chocolate malt aromas with some banana-wheat notes, alcohol and hints of nuttiness, with the Belgian yeast. Cacao-nuttiness continues into the flavours with some grassy-hoppy dryness in the finish. The Belgian yeast and mild bananas lingers on the tongue. The alcohol is milder in the mouth. An interesting Belgian, Imperial Stout with lots of chocolate notes.

Bottle 33cl. bought November 2021 @home poured into a chalice. Pitch black with faint ruby hue, good dense creamy tan head, good retention, good lacing. Aroma roasted malt,coffee, cocoa, dark fruit, liquorice, faint vanilla notes. Complex layered taste, initially light light heavy sweet followed by some bitterness and a light sourish touch, malt, roast, dark chocolate, dark fruit, cherries, brown sugar, light vinous notes. Full-bodied, oily texture, soft carbonation, sweetbitter aftertaste with growing fruitiness in it, rich and easy to drink, well-balanced, very good.

Bottle from Drinks Vanuxeem, Ploegsteert, Belgium. Pours almost black with a faint reddish hue and a medium sized thick creamy beige head. Rich aromas of dark chocolate, dry dark fruits, fruit cake, brown bread and hints of vanilla and liquorice. Taste has lots more dark chocolate, dry dark fruits, fruit cake and brown bread with beautiful notes of plums and lots of cherries also coming through with a touch of brown sugar on the finish. Very light vinous notes also with a subtle acidity also on the finish. Full body, fairly low carbonation and smooth oily mouthfeel. Very dark fruity lingering aftertaste. The high abv is expertly hidden. This beer is absolutely beautiful! Truly one to sip and savour. No lie this is one of the best beers I’ve ever tried. Fantastic.

On tap at the Brugge Beer Festival 2023, Brugge, Belgium. A dark brown/black coloured pour with a healthy beige head on top. Roasty, malty, caramel, dark fruit taste/aroma. There is a hint of chocolate too. Really nice strong Belgian.

I’ve got a 33 cl bottle of Invidia that Belgian Happiness sent along a few months ago. We’re having a superb fall evening, time to sample a dark Belgian ale. The look in my snifter is a brown-black liquid with a light tan skim that refuses to leave. The scent is appropriately good with dark fruit, red cherries and bread. The drink is, well, it’s good also. Black plums, chocolate surprisingly, grain, malt, leather, cherries again and some earthiness. A touch of sourness that is more than offset by a fruit sweetness. A fine beer, glad to have it to taste.

Il va falloir que déniche au moins un deuxième exemplaire de cette Invidia car après ma première dégustation je ne suis pas certain d'avoir totalement appréhendé ni voire totalement compris cette bière qui flirte entre 3 styles : bière belge forte, barley wine et imperial stout. D'aucuns pourraient penser que l'ensemble est confus, mais il en est rien, l'ensemble étant pensé et avec un fil directeur complexe mais réel. Intellectuellement j'ai donc particulièrement apprécié cette bière. Gustativement j'ai encore quelques points de perplexité qui demandent donc à être levés avec une seconde dégustation mais elle en est quoi qu'il en soit appréciable sur des arômes de chocolat (du cacao est intégré à la recette) de fruits légèrement confits, de café et avec un alcool à 10 % chaleureux et structurant. Côté visuel, nous avons un brun foncé surmonté d'une mousse de 5 mm. Plutôt sympathique. Les arômes sont sur le chocolat, le whisky, la mélasse et avec un léger café. Le fruit se révèle surtout à la dégustation et ce dès l'attaque avec des arômes de raisin, de dates, de sucre de canne, de chocolat et de whisky. Le tout porté par une bonne amertume. En deuxième bouche, L'alcool se muscle pour sonner du caractère tout en restant bien intégré (à noter également un sucre bien présent, donnant une certaine douceur sans être pour autant surdosé). On est alors proche du barley wine avec des fruits qui prennent l'ascendant. L'arrière bouche reprenant L'attaque, en terme d'arômes, est moins amère. La prise en bouche En bouche est bonne tout comme la longueur qui est-elle davantage sur un trio chocolat, café et canne à sucre. Très intéressante.
