Een rijk en tevens alcoholarm bier, het is licht gemout en vol, maar vooral geïmpregneerd met een lichte koffiegeur. De P’tit Granit is een eerbetoon aan alle steenhouwers uit onze streek die gehard en getekend waren door het harde labeur en de ruwheid van het steenkappen. De geschiedenis reikt je de hand, nu moet je hem enkel nog proeven.

12/I/16 - 50cl can from Malt Attacks (Brussel) @ home - BB: 12/IX/16 (2016-30)
Clear purple brown beer, creamy beige head, pretty stable, adhesive, leaving a nice lacing in the glass. Aroma: pretty roasted, mocha, chocolate, some banana, dried fruits, hint of band-aid. MF: lively carbon, medium to full body. Taste: pretty roasted, bit sourish, hoppy and bitter, coffee, some citrus, very nice. Aftertaste: very roasted, dark chocolate, cocoa powder, caramel, bitter hops, citrus, fruity, almost like a black ipa.

500 ml. can. BBF 12/09/2016. Deep Bordeaux very dark furniture brown, small tanned head. Nose is thin herbal ashes, herbal thin mocha, chicory coffee, cheap powdery mocha, instant coffee. Taste is thin dry ashy powdery herbal, chicory coffee, thin powdery cheap mocha, instant coffee, leaves, faint stale Tabaco,.. Body is much like taste, thin, herbal, mocha, ashy,… Odd, overkill on the thin & ashy, herbal notes. A bit unusual, I see some strange recurring ingredients here, I haven’t had their IPL yet but I almost wonder whether or not this is a regular porter or a tweaked version of their IPL. It seems almost a bit odd for it to be this ashy, thin herbal & dry. There is no way that I am right here, I am probably overly suspicious of a BE brewery debuting several beers at once, silly me. Either way, a bit odd, a bit too much.

50cl can. Brune foncée, col crémeux voire blanc-cassé. Arôme est plaisant, grillé et un chocolaté également à niveau. Levure légère avec un houblonné perçant en rétro-nasal. Ce dernier ajoute de fines effluves de pin - surement du Polaris avec une fraicheur rappelant la menthe. Palais est plaisant, grillé et chocolaté somptueux le tout étant ponctué d’une pointe d’amertume du malt pilsner dont l’amertume tend à ressortir un peu trop. Cependant, ce porter léger bénéficie d’un savant usage des houblons qui ajoutent une bonne note de fleuri, une certaine sécheresse et une touche de feuille de tabac. L’usage de Polaris y confère ce profil unique qui verse délicatement sur la menthe et apporte à la bière une fraicheur très appréciable. Trouve également un soupçon de pin qui s’accommode très bien du caractère malté de cette bière. Une chouette découverte, en cannette svp, pour une nouvelle brasserie qui offre enfin des produits d’un style nouveau tout en restant facile à approcher pour le belge néophyte du style ’craft’.

06/11/2015 in Brussels, waiting for a train that doesnt come. 50cl can from Malt Attacks, Brussels. First heavy dry bitterness from roasted malts (reminding of a black coffee in the morning or the dust the stoneworkers to whom this is dedicated had to swallow), than those malts combined with hopsbitterness, than more hopsbitterness, than a little fruitiness which makes it remind of a black IPA. Finally light sweetness to end as a simple ale for bingedrinking. Or my tastebuds were top or confused. Or did I had to shake it to distribute the taste more evenals? It was definetly a fine tasting journey and finally thats why were in it I guess. Nice artwork by the way
