Draft @ BXLBeerFest’24.
Couleur brune foncée avec un léger voile acajou de la myrtille, col fin blanc-cassé rosâtre.
Arôme est finement malté caramel/chocolaté, caramel avec un apport plaisant de Rulles – il faut chercher pour vraiment pointer la myrtille mais un savoureux bouquet de baies se dégage.
Palais est finement malté, pointe de caramel/chocolaté, fruité sur les baies avec la myrtille qui reste un peu en retrait. Le côté myrtille est faiblard et pas aussi facile à reconnaitre que si cela avait été de la mûre. Finement râpeux et grinçant en fin de bouche avec une acidité qui revient devant. J’étais habitué à tout de même mieux noter l’apport de Rulles.

The unblended draft version of the recently issued blueberry version of Rullquin, sampled at ZBF. Medium thick, pale greyish beige, moussy but opening and thinning head on a hazy purplish deep burgundy-brown beer. Aroma of passionfruit, hard caramel, rosehip, indeed (dried) blueberries, red wine vinegar, dried prunes, earth, wood. Tart onset, dried fruits mingled with sour-spicy blueberry, notes of sour plum and passionfruit, quite fizzy carbonation for an unblended lambic, bit vinous mouthfeel; hard-caramelly and brown-bready malt core under lovely yoghurty lactic tartness with a side note of very old red wine and earthy accents. Complex, woody, fruity, vinous, long finish. The backblended and bottled version already pleasantly surprised me recently and this explains why.

Dumpfer beeriger Beginn, leicht adstringierend, ein pelziges Gefühl bleibt im Mund. Nuancen von Schokolade, dumpf bleibend, eher kurzer Abgang. 7/9/9/8//8
