Bottle from a shop in Houffalize.

T: sweetish apple, sourish blackberry, caramel, toast.

Pleasantly balancing between fruits and toast, but somewhat infected too.

Bouteille 33cl partagée avec Vincent au stand de la brasserie lors du Marché des producteurs Luxembourgeois '24, Place Lux à Ixelles.
De l'aveu du brasseur, une bière à la base prévue comme une bock - en souvenir à son époque comme brasseur chez Chouyffe et sa bière de choix la Chouffe Bock, dans les faits, il nous parle d'un style se rapprochant plus d'un porter anglais.
Malt à cru 40% avec l'ajout de poudre d'écorce d'orange en lieu d'écorce. Cela provoque une réaction huileuse qui comme nous l'avons vu, tue immédiatement la mousse.
Brune foncée versant sur le noir, col épasi/éparce blanc-cassé retombant assez rapidement.
Arôme est sur une approche bien maltée - torréfié, grillé, les céréales en appui avec un léger bouquet chocolaté et un retour houblonné noble sur le terreux, finement floral. Note d'orange en rétro même si cette dernière ne joue pas un rôle trop dominant, léger nez de réglisse en retrait qui donne un parfum singulier.
Palais sur une bonne dose de malt grillé, torréfié, effet un peu crystal avec une touche d'agrumes-orange, subtile en retrait et un caractère épicé rappelant l'anis.

Dubbel by a microbrewery in Houffalize in the Belgian Ardennes, apparently already active since 2019, but completely unknown to me until last week. Quite a gusher, streaming out of the bottle neck, so be ware when opening this one. Thick and foamy ‘gusher head’, pale greyish beige, large-bubbled and coarse yet quite stable; very dark ‘dirty’ chestnut brown robe, almost blackish, with burgundy glow. Aroma initially dominated by sharply piercing carbon dioxide but when this fades, yielding impressions of old brown bread, dry earth, damp tree leaves, cloves, dried blackberries, nutmeg, old coffee grounds, bitter garden weeds, minerals, wild mushrooms and a touch of iron. Very spritzy onset, clearly overcarbonated and almost painfully stinging at first; sweetish dried fig and prune notes with a sourish undertone and a somewhat ‘dirty’ feel, which together with the gushing clearly hint at onsetting infection. Brown-bready malt core with notes of old roasted chicory and dry caramel, dryish with a bitter tail but also slightly metallic edges; pronounced retronasal clove- and nutmeg-like phenols, fortunately not becoming too meaty or – worse – medicinal. Very earthy finish, ‘muddy’ yeastiness, very leafy bittering hops accentuating the overall dryness of this beer, and lingering breadiness and toastiness. Typical Walloon ‘brune’, with a drier, more roasty, earthier and yeastier profile than the average Flemish or Dutch dubbel – the roasty element and hop bitterness both pronounced enough in this case that brown porter springs to mind; I can certainly appreciate this approach, but the gushing and overall ‘dirtiness’ clearly point at bacterial interference which should not be present and which is an issue that I think needs to be addressed.

Erhöhte Karbonisierung. Karamellmalziger Beginn mit weicher Herbe. Trocken würzig, geringe Bitterkeit, die starke Karbonisierung stört. Langer malzig-herber Abgang. 10/9/8/9/8/8
