75cl bottle @ Belgian Beer Geeks Winter Gathering. Oof. Sweet. Very strong honey presence, slick palate, some boozy high strength desert wine shades, no Alvinne beer noticeable sadly. Barrel-aging seems lost in the boosty alcohol, though a long hour nursing this bottle may reveal more.

Clear light orange beer, small to no head. Aroma: pretty oxidized, malty, grains, hay, honey. MF: soft to no carbon, medium body. Taste: very oxidized, honey, sugary, way too sweet, more oxidation. Aftertaste: very sweet, sugary, oxidized, all honey, meh.

Billies fest 2022 – collab Mederie
Un monstre à 17%, incroyable de voir cela en bouteille de 17% - pas souvent aussi de voir un braggot disponible.
Léger orangé, pas de col
Arôme est doux organique mielleux assez plaisant ponctué par de fins effluves de caramel, fruité par l’apport de la barrique de Pineau – le côté Alvinne me semble perdu et je ne note rien en terme d’apport tourbé ni de Bourbon comme mentionné sur l’étiquette.
Palais est sur une douceur plaisante alliant l’apport mielleux – ce qui tranche avec le caractère souvent spécifique de la levure maison Alvinne – Morpheus. Effet un peu organique, ponctué par une note caramélisée, grillé, dattes et léger apport du Pineau des Charentes – le tout contribue encore plus à accroitre le côté doux et sucre résiduel. Ici, aussi pas grand-chose sur le côté tourbé et vanillé du Bourbon. Reste correcte sans vraiment transmettre ce que j’attendais d’un assemblage entre bière/hydromel – ici, la base miel est nettement plus en avant.

Pours clear, darker amber. Scent is funky, raw honey. Very rough. Some BA profile. Taste is sweet, but has a simple honey sweetness (alongside the sharp, bitter funk) which makes it to rough and raw on the honey side for me.
