From tap, note it was bottled at Alvinne and not Gaverhopke. Orange trouble, col blanc-cassé. Arôme au nez clairement centré sur le BA, note de peat assez plaisante mais couvrant le tout. Peu en terme d’Espelette. Retrouve un malt caramel, un houblonné modéré fleuri reste timidement présent. Palais est boozy, avec une touche rappelant presque le genévrier, note de tourbé, collant aux lèvres. Espelette perce plus sur la fin sans pour cela apporter un grand changement.Le tout semble être un peu partout sans être vraiment trop effectif. Note que le tout vient du même lot que la version Alvinne usant aussi de piments d’Espelette.

After Leviathan and Kraken, d’Oude Maalderij now added this third barrel-aged barley wine to the series, with a similarly attractive label, this time depicting H.P. Lovecraft’s godly sea monster. Apparently simply a blend of Leviathan with Kraken, so partially matured on Ardbeg barrels and partially on brandy barrels. Off-white, moussy, regularly shaped head, hazy amber robe with ochre hue. Aroma has peated whisky (i.e. iodine), sourdough, cognac, oak, vanilla, candied apple, white bread, a hint of dried peppers and the same intense solvent quality of varnish of nail polish remover that put me off both Leviathan and Kraken. Sweet onset, fig, banana, yellow raisin, bready and caramelly malt core buried under an increasing amount of solvents and wry, even burning alcohol accentuated by a light pepper accent from the Espelettes. Messy, alcoholic, solventy: this beer has the same basic issues as both its older brethren. Too bad, because I like the concept (and the labels) a lot.

Clear brown appearance. Aroma has a slightly medicinal edge to it. Nice thick texture. Flavour is sweet and syrupy.
