Bouteille 33cl @ Beerstorming, partagée avec Kraddel & 77ships. Orangée présentant un léger voile, col épais blanc. Arôme au bouquet offrant un nez finemetn épicé rappelant le poivre, petit note houblonnée arrive en rétro. Le tout garde une fine douceur venant des fèves de tonka? Palais est léger, poivré, avec une fin orienté pils, léger biscuité, houblonné fleuri sur la fin. Le tout est doux, avec un profil de fève qui semble s’être atténué avec le temps.

330 ml. bottle sampled @ Beerstorming. Shared cost. No BBF. The brewer let us smell some tonka beans, very sweet fruity marzipan vanilla near chocolate dark fruits with a light pleasant medicinal note. In the beer itself they have strongly faded, leaving lots of unusual chili notes which are akin to green paprika or something like that, not flawed beer but actual green paprika, this is a very odd and hard to describe beer by this point. Wonder how it was 2 – 3 months ago back when the tonka beans dominated? Pours a very dark hazy orange with a big white bubbles for a head. Nose is lemon & lime with the medicinal qualities of the toka beans which I got when I smelled them but not the sweetness itself. Body is a bit fizzy. Taste is fizzy lime, chemical tonka bean note with mint, green paprika chili, pepper, white grapes, sweet lime. Odd beer but an interesting & challenging one.

Pours rather unclear blonde, big white head. Smell is very weird, cleaning products and ambermalts. Taste is sharp, bitter, some sweetness, spiced. Weird, and not that good...
