Kataklysm St. Tabarnak

Huge, very dense & fine yellowish head over fully hazy orangeish yellow beer. Mildly spiced nose, coriander, citruspeel, grains, bit sweet - as white chocolatemelt. Again coriander, perfumey and soapy in the mouth. Little sweetness left. Bit fake citrus, short spiced bitterness. Bit burning MF, quite slick (the oats?), very well-carbonated to fizzy, light body. Hmm. Witbier in my book.

Bottle at Belgiuminabox . Very to have found this one as it is yet another beer devoted to a metalband. Always cool to find these ones ! The fact that this time a Belgian brewery made it, and of all the options they took a good one, makes me even more enthousiastic. The consumption of this ale was of course paired with the fine music from these gentleman. Pours fuzzy yellow, almost like a wheatbeer, but with a huge white head. It fades to a more regular sized, steady head in a rather fast timespan. Smell is mostly yeasty, with much yeast-bitterness to it as well. Bit fruity even ( again, from the yeast ) . Taste is bitter. Intense on yeast, its bitter aspects up front , with a residential sweetness from the malts in the back. The totality is perfumed by a mixture of fine hoparoma as well of fruity yeastnotes. On the mouthfeel side, this beer is way overcarbonated. Apparently, this is the first version of this beer ( are there more to come ? ) so perhaps this shall be finetuned in the future batches. I like the -relatively- intense bitterness though. I still think a belgian ale is a weird choice for a rough death metal band ( you’d’expect imperial stout rather than this ) but I will let bad comments on that fact go, since I do like the beer. Horns up !
