ABV: 4.5% IBU: 40 Ticks: 3
Brewed from 3 Belgian malts and hops with hints of chocolate in the nose, an uncompromising attack on highly roasted notes, a great length and really marked bitterness. This is a beer which is low in alcohol with a really dry finish.

Kremowa spora piana do tego trwala koloru jasno brazowego, brudne z farfoclami geste i nie przejrzyste, mocno palony slod wyczuwalne chmiele, spora goryczka i naprawde wyraznie i przyjemnie wytrawne. ta wytrawnosc ciagnie sie dlugo niczym niemiecka autostrada. oby wiecej takich wytrawnosci z Belgii.

Classically styled dry stout from this new Walloon ‘beer firm’, bottle from Belbière. Thick and creamy, dense, yellow-beige, stable, membrane-lacing, frothy head over a very dark chocolate brown beer with hazy mahogany edges – almost black generally speaking. Aroma of a lot of coffee grounds and cold black coffee, ‘fondant’ chocolate, ‘natural’ haemoglobin iron, roasted chicory, dried apple peel, black pepper, gypsum and other minerals, dried out pipe tobacco, old raisins, ‘drop’, black tea, cloves, bayleaf. Rounded, restrainedly fruity onset, quite low in sweetness as can be expected from a ‘dry’ stout of course, thin black olive-ish umami aspects, underlying sourishness but also very minerally all the way through, with a near-salty effect (salted caramel) as well as ‘blood-like’ iron that feels natural in this kind of beer. Medium carb, smooth and eventually very lightly powdery mouthfeel, lovely black chocolate-, coffee- and hard caramel-like ‘dark maltiness’ with a vaguely sweetish nutty and liquorish-tinged edge, yet finishing with a lot of roasted bitterness (roasted chicory), even turning a little bit ashy, supported by a spicy, tad rooty hop bitter accent. Long, dry, bitter maltiness lingers. Better than expected to be honest, this is indeed a well-made old school dry stout the Irish way, if a tad more yeasty (and in that sense only betraying its ‘Belgianness’). Recommendable.
