Draft @ Ostara beerfest - LaSource.
Brune foncée, col blanc-cassé, léger huiuleux au verre.
Arôme sur un tourbé marqué, le tout repris en support avec pas mal de notes de malts - caramel, chocolaté assez épais. Finement biscuité.
Palais reste une belle grosse base de malts - épais sur le chocolaté, léger tourbé, cacao assez bien placé.

25/XII/25 - 33cl can from the brewery, shared @ family Christmas dinner, BB: XII/2030 (2025-1474) Thanks to Klaas for the can!
Clear dark brown to black beer, huge creamy bit irregular beige brown head, pretty stable, non adhesive. Aroma: lots of chocolate, peated whisky, very smoky, all whisky, woody, roasted, more peat. MF: ok carbon, medium body. Taste: lots of chocolate, smoky touch, deep roast, pretty bitter, lots of coffee, dry, a bit malty, some caramel, sweet, very peated. Aftertaste: lots of chocolate, soft acidity, good deep roast, lots of coffee, bitter touch, nice, whisky, some peat, cocoa powder. Very decent one!

Rerate: not a bottle but the can. Stable foamy beige head. Lots of tobacco, peated whisky, espresso. Deep bitter taste of coffee and tobacco. Earthy hops, tobacco and peated whisky alcohol. Excellent. Averaging the scores.
Original rating: 6/8/8/8/8=7.8.
19 August 2023. At 13de Gents Bierfestival. Cheers to Anke, Tim & so many others!
A: cloudy black, no head.
A: matches, tobacco, teriyaki, fried mushroom.
T: sweet date, fondant, umami teriyaki.
F: earthy hops, umami-meaty notes, tobacco, warming peated whisky alcohol.
P: medium to full body, oily texture, soft carbonation.
Typical peated stuff; this style suits Totem well. I want a bottle of this!
