Sample, thanks fonefan! Near black, small head. Aroma of tonka beans, coffee, tonka beans and tonka beans. Very sweet with full body and rounded mouthfeel. Caramel and marzipan, chocolate. The just tonka beans that lasts forever, well into the intensely warming finish. Another good beer spoiled by overusage of tonka beans

Bouteille 33cl, BB 04/2026, lot# L015/21.
Cuivre trouble, col fin léger crémeux blanc-cassé laissant un léger huileux sur le verre.
Arôme donne des effluves de léger chocolat, des épices - note bien un côté Speculoos au niveau de belles effluves d'épices, girofle, caramel avec une petite pointe de café. Sucre candi pour une approche plutôt belge. En rétro, petite touche de sucre cristallisé et un soupçon de tabac qui perce sur la fin.
Palais marque de suite le côté un peu booze, effet, ici aussi, de Speculoos - côté sucre candi avec un retrait de cacao - effet fève tonka le tout procurant un délicat apport épicé rappelant la cannelle et amande grillée couplée à une petite douceur rappelant la vanille - en fin de bouche, je note une petite pointe épicée avec un fini un peu plus belge sur des notes de fruits secs - raisins, figues.
A 13%, c'est quand même fort chargé et difficile à boire pour juste une personne.

New stout by this ‘Belgo-Brazilian’ craft brewery, using Brazilian tonka beans, not the first time this aromatic ingredient is used in beer, of course. Yellowish beige, moussy, small-bubbled head on a black beer with thin burgundy edge. Aroma of indeed tonka beans and quite extremely so, diverging towards almond or even marzipan, nougat, coconut, also hazelnut paste, chocolate crisps, cinnamon ark, melting brown sugar, cold coffee with milk, toffee, blood-like iron, vague spicy note of black pepper or even juniper berry. Sweet onset, candied dates, brown sugar even, softishly carbonated with a full, creamy mouthfeel but not over-the-top syrupy; toffeeish, hazelnutty and nougat-like layers of malts, sugars and tonka bean, milk-chocolatey too, all hugely aromatized by the tonka, with all that almond, coconut and spiced cookie returning retronasally – quite overwhelmingly so. Warming, rum-like alcohol in the tail, alongside lingering toffeeish, sugared-coffee- and chocolate-like core flavours, still bathing in that desserty tonka bean aroma. If you have a friend who is not into craft beer and does not know what tonka bean is, give him this – but Valéry did manage to keep it relatively simple and drinkable in spite of the impressive ABV, so this is actually more accessible than it may seem. Lovely pastry stout – of sorts.
