Le fait de remplacer 20% du malt par des invendus de pain frais donne à la bière un côté caramel / toast agréable au palet. Solidement dry-hoppée au Chinook, elle a une amertume qui n’a pas froid aux yeux. La plus amère de nos All-Stars.
Avec Babylone, c’est « Back to the future » ! Voilà 7,000 ans, à Babylone, on se chopinait un breuvage à base de pain fermenté. Quelques millénaires plus tard, à Bruxelles, on a décidé de se lancer dans ce projet d’économie circulaire, en recyclant des invendus dans pain frais dans la recette.

It is a really nice bitter not that bready than expected, for the style nice bitterness, it sounds more an IPA than a bitter, 09.12.17, at the ex pibar, Lausanne.

Bottle from Speciaalbierpakket. Aroma is chewy malt, bread, caramel, bit candied fruits, yeast, toffee, spicy notes. Flavour is medium sweet with a fairly bitter finish. Body is a sturdy medium. Smooth and refined bready malty fruity beer, very enjoyable.

Аромат радует, хмель европейский, немного сладкого карамельного солода и сухофруктов и даже коричневого сахара. Цвет красно темный, почти янтарный,полу прозрачный. Вкус со средней карбонизацией. Вкус во основе хмелевой, немного сухофруктов и карамели. Послевкусие больше медовое, с оттенками патоки. Имеется хорошая приятная хмелевая горчинка. В целом приятно удивлен данному экземпляру.

I spotted this 33 cl bottle at a small shop near our hotel in Brussels. On a tour we stood across the street from the BBP brewery, couldn't go in because it was closed. So I came home with this beer to try. I have a tulip glass in place for the pour, reddish brown in color with a slender cover of parchment foam. The smell is malty and grainy. I lift the glass to take a drink. Scorched malt, biscuits, a piney bitterness, a touch of sweetness and perhaps a bit of citrus. Dense, a substantial feel. I have not tried many in the style but this is the best one. And I do like the stand-out label.
