17 August 2019. At Gents Bierfestival X. Cheers to Anke, Kevin & the crew! Named after Karel de Stoute, or Charles the Bold, Duke of Burgundy from 1467 until 1477; earning his nickname ('le Téméraire' or 'the Reckless') because of his warlike character, untamed nature, as well as extreme austerity and chastity (producing only one child, the lamented Mary of Burgundy). His mad ambition made him perish at the battle of Nancy, courtesy of the Swiss army. Anyway, the story of this beer is less interesting: pours hazy dark brown to black with a very thin, frothy, tan head. Subtle aroma of sweet cherry, raspberry, brambleberry, toast, fondant, red fruit jam. Taste is light to medium malty sweet, restrained chocolate & biscuit supporting sweet cherry & sourish brambleberry, a bit toasty with a powdery effect; ends dryish, slightly tart, very low on (earthy) hop bitterness with lingering cherry & chocolate. Some Maraschino-like alcohol warmth. Medium body, oily texture, soft carbonation. I appreciate the name but I would recommend the patriarch 'Filips de Stout'. I'll welcome a revisit if less restrained.

Greyish-tan head over black beer. Fruity nose as from blackberries, mainly chocolate rather than roast. Cherries, cherry-chocolate ganache, dark green leaves, bit earthy. Very well-bodied, slick, chewy. Low to medium carbonation. Another excellent stout from Kasuta. Pajottenlandstout, great.
