Small cream-greige rim over virtually black beer. Liquorice, dark malts, some chocolate. More liquorice in the flavour, roast, burnt toast, dry. Quite light MF, maybe tad too watery for its own good. Almost no aftertaste, but for some roast. Well carbonated. Not bad, but... somehow one wants more fireworks these days.

25cl bottle sample au Marché des producteurs luxembourgeois '24, Place Lux, Ixelles.
Noire/brune fonée, col fin peu tenace café au lait/moka.
Arôme est léger sur le malté grillé, pâle, chocolaté, avec un léger rétro-nasal de fruits noirs/rouges et de baies.
Palais est sur une belle pétillance que je trouve un peu trop élevé pour ce genre de 'dry stout' - fine amertume avec des éléments de chocolat noir, cacao, biscuité. Fruits noirs rappelant le cassis, mais aussi la myrtilleet la framboise.

Dark beer by a microbrewery set up in the Luxemburg province of Belgium in 2021 and apparently dedicated to Mary, mother of Jesus; brewed with malted rye and beet syrup. Thick but quickly collapsing, bubbly, busily cobweb-lacing, very irregular, very large-bubbled greyish beige head on a blackish beer with thin yet clear mahogany edge. Aroma of dry caramel, glazed beetroot, liquorice, wet toast, unsugared chewing gum, bayleaf, nutmeg, dried thyme, pond water, some vague 'drop', petrichor, coffee grounds or diluted black coffee, chicory, iron (quite strong and unambiguously confirmed by the 'hand test'), old hazelnuts on a dry forest floor, porcini, cold miso soup, plaster. Sweetish onset but restrainedly so, some dried blackberry and dried fig, umami elements (green olive, beef stock cube) here and there, softish carb with slick mouthfeel, a bit on the thinnish side perhaps; very smooth walnutty, hard-caramelly and eventually toasty malts, sleek with slight metallic edges and something faintly bubblegummy underneath, gaining momentum in the end when more roasty bitterness (chicory or coffee grounds) combine with a good dose of leafy, earthy hops and a lingering, persistent liquorice note. A general earthiness in 'clean' sort of way - however paradoxical that may sound - is achieved by that beetroot syrup. Earthy, coffeeish and dry-caramelly stout, a dry stout in all, with some unusual features, a tad undercarbonated, a bit metallic and showing some retronasal beef stock effects: not undrinkable by any means, but there is no room for that beetroot thing here and the whole could have been more sleek and focused. Weird.
