Another Millevertus beer made with black pepper, a follow-up to their Amaranthe, I assume. Light gusher. Thick, ’paper lacing’, coarse but dense and lasting, off-white head, colour peach blonde, cloudy from the start and muddy in the end - a feature which elicits a certain amount of suspicion, combined with the gushing. Rather bizarre aroma of soaked green peppercorns and even pink pepper rather than black pepper, pickled gherkins, fragrant tulips, dried apricot, some papaja, salted tomatoes, hints of raw vegetables, yellow curry, orange peel, curcuma, earth, green olives, Belgian pickles, soap, soaking wet paper, bitter honey and a (fortunately) weak touch of DMS (cooked white cabbage). Crisp, fruity onset, peach, orange, redcurrant, very weak banana, even a hint of bubblegum, sharpish carbo, dry, with a certain ’roughness’ to it due to the carbonation, caramelly maltiness, lots of spicy yeastiness, ending in a finish of lasting malt and estery fruit sweetishness along with ’pink pepper spiciness’, some curry spices, but not really ’burning’, rather a soft, additional spiciness built on top of a lightly spicy but very gentle, earthy and floral hop bitterness, though I do get a slight pepper heat in the end; powdery yeastiness also increases and brings a very light but ’dirty’ sourishness to the whole. Alcohol remains hidden and retronasally, a kind of raw ’green pepper’ presence seems to penetrate as well. Unusual, could have been even more peppery for me, not too balanced perhaps, but still rather pleasant, drying and a bit ’wild’ like many Wallonian ales. I did find their Amaranthe better, though, I remember it as being a bit more clean and a bit more tangy. This one is clearly a spice beer which divides opinions, as is so often the case with this style: either you like it, or you hate it. This goes for several other Millevertus beers as well and to me, this only means they do interesting things every now and then, not unlike Fantôme, perhaps...?

14/VIII/15 - 33cl bottle from Geers (Oostakker) @ home - BB: V/2016 (2015-1054)
Clear deep orange beer, creamy solid off-white head, pretty stable, bit adhesive. Aroma: soapy, floral, sweet, artificial fruit flavouring, what the hell is this thing? MF: ok carbon, medium body. Taste: very sweet start, slightly peppery but no heat though, overripe to rotten fruits. Aftertaste: sweet, rotten stuff, sugary, some banana, spicy, yuck, what an awful combo.

From tap. Pours hazy dark orange with a huge white head. Aroma is herbal, spruce and veggie. Sweet, phenolic and estery. Bitter and light fruity. Dry and slight spiced into the finish.
