Brussels beer trying to evoke the beginnings of beer history in Mesopotamia, brewed with bread, as the fermentation of bread – in ancient form – is often quoted as the origin of beer. Thanks tderoeck for sharing. Mousy, egg-white, creamy head, opening with flat islands of foam in the middle, misty caramel brown robe with ‘rusty’-reddish tinge. Aroma of bread crumbs, rusk, toffee, stewed redcurrant berries, ground hazelnuts, muesli, soggy toast, plum jam, fig compote, earth. Fruity onset, sweetish and estery with notes of plum and fig, sourish undertone with a somewhat ‘dirty’ effect possibly hinting at onsetting infection; bready middle with caramelly malt sweetishness, the breadiness coming from malts and (stronger) yeast but no doubt from the actual bread as well, sourishness continuing, tad soapy in the end with a very earthy, almost ‘muddy’ and dusty-yeasty finish, mixed with leafy hop bitterness. Technically flawed, ‘dirty’ as a result of onsetting infection, likely due to the addition of the bread – but I have the impression that all of this brewery’s beers have similar flaws so they obviously still have a lot to learn from a technical point of view.

33cl bottle from BeerMania in Brussels. 6.8% ABV. Pours a murky, dark amber with some sticky, white head. Nose is very bready, gristy, some dark fruits, some nuts. Flavor is interesting, very malty and bready, almost like a super fresh Tmavy, light chestnut honey. Finishes a bit sweet and perhaps a little watery. Some funk lurking in the background. Probably best to drink this uber fresh. Very interesting, like a weird brown ale. 6 4 7 3 12
