Zythos 2022. Murky brown colour with thin head. Aroma and flavour have elements of dried fruits and apple. Quite strong alcohol kick.

Thnx to Niki ! Sampled 2 batches side by side - the cognac-based label and the new one.
Cognac based label (older batch) Pours an unclear browned chocolate. Scent is is medium intense, herbal caramel, chocolate. Earthy notes. Don't really get the cognac. Taste is sharp, herbal, earthy, caramel, tad sticky. Weird bitterness that doesn't match the beer. cognac is unidentifiable. would rate 6.5
New label : Similar, but less caramel, more sharp (herbal). Taste is similar, bit more on the cognac here. Better balance, less cloying. The better of both batches. would rate 7.3
Average of both is 6.9.

Quadrupel infused with cognac from a cognac dealer in the same village as the brewery’s registered office, and extra flavoured with guaraná, a kind of (very) caffeine-rich South-American nut often used in soft drinks nowadays. Medium thick, membrane-lacing, pale greyish beige, breaking but generally stable head on a cloudy, dark mahogany brown beer with ruddy tinge. Aroma of beef broth first and foremost, lots of FFF (freshly fermented farmland), medlar, rotting apples, stale sweat, indeed some cognac piercing through, old potatoes, pear, sour cream, cloves. ‘Dirty’-estery onset, sweet with a (dull) tart edge clearly hinting at infection, hints of pear, medlar and elderberry, lactic effect as in spoilt milk thinly yet clearly running through the whole, finely tingling carb, full and bit fluffy mouthfeel. Caramelly and brown-bready maltiness with a clear nutty side, obscured a bit by the ‘dirtiness’ from the infection but still revealing a dash of background guaraná, before strong phenolic-spicy effects (4-vinyl-guaiacol, the ‘meaty’ way even), lingering earthy and beef broth-like ‘dirtiness’ and this ongoing ‘deep’ lactic sourishness take over, highlighted by an earthy hop bitter accent and warming alcohol, cognac-like I guess, but not very prominently. Both the cognac and the guaraná remain completely understated here, buried under the dirty, earthy, souring effects of an unfortunate bacterial infection that plagues at least the sample I had. Ignoring the infection, I’m sure this has the potential to become a classy ‘bière de dégustation’ and I take that in account in my altogether mild rating – but I cannot deny the infectious effects either, of course, so this clearly needs work.
