17 August 2019. At Gents Bierfestival X. Cheers to Anke, Kevin & the crew! Named after Filips de Stoute, or Philip the Bold, Duke of Burgundy from 1363 until 1404, who earned his nickname after the Battle of Poitiers where as a teenager he valiantly defended his father, the French king Jean le Bon. So anyway. Appears hazy black with a lasting, frothy, tan head. Aroma of raisin, raspberry, brambleberry, Schwarzwälder Kirschtorte, chocolate powder, toast, red fruit jam. Taste is medium malty sweet, quite fruity, offering raspberry, cranberry & sourish brambleberry mixing with chocolate, bit of a powdery effect, slightly nutty & grape-like perhaps thanks to the wood treatment. Dryish, tart, toasty finish, some earthy hops, very faint wood & dominant red fruits; agreeable warming alcohol hinting at coffee liqueur & Maraschino. Medium body, slick-creamy texture, fizzy carbonation. Sweet fruity & somewhat dry 'powdery' at the same time, I expected a bit more body, although I enjoyed its execution. As a medieval history enthusiast, I might be more lenient because of the name...

Raspberry stout aged on wood, by this adventurous young ‘bierfirma’, sampled at Gents Bierfestival. Pale greyish beige, medium thick but quickly opening head lacing in shreds over a black beer with cherry red, misty edges. Aroma of candied raspberries and sweet raspberry jam, candied cherries even, Kirsch, blackberry compote, toffee, treacle, Belgian chocolates, tawny port, hazelnut paste. Sweet onset, a bit sticky even, with lots of sweet raspberry coulis and raspberry jam in a ‘candied’, clean and streamlined kind of way, rather low in sourness apart from the beer’s natural sourish core but still a soft fruity tartness is noticeable; softly carbonated, syrupy and smooth mouthfeel, very toffee- and chocolate-like middle with the sweet-and-lightly-sour raspberry component creating an effect of fruit-filled Belgian ‘pralines’; ends very mildly ‘dusty’ thanks to the wood, but nowhere really tannic, sweetness remains with this ‘clean’ sourish touch for balance. Desserty, typically ‘clean’ and sweet 'candy' fruit stout – a bit too clean and sweet for me to be truly memorable, but interesting for sure and quite original in a Belgian context so extra point for that.

Head gone, reddish-black beer. Raspberry with curry, immortelle, chocolate, and some pine/resin. Sourish, raspberry, fruitsugars, chocolate returning, and very mild roast. Well-bodied, as from hot chocolate, not very carbonated. Very nice! Great to find this from a brand new brewery.
