Bottle shared in London - cheers to Dave. Pours unclear brown with a frothy, off-white head. The nose holds toasted pine, brown bread. Medium sweet flavour, some ripening orange, earth, pine, well toasted bread. Medium bodied, lightly oily, with fine carbonation. Finishes with nips of resin, more toasted brown bread, hints of cocoa, more orange peel. Not bad.

Bottle at L6. It pours cloudy dark brown with a thick foamy tan head. The aroma is earthy roast, sweet, chocolate, sticky, liquorice, umami, choc cake and rocky road. The taste is dry, bitter, charred, umami, peppery spice, dark fruits, tangy berry, leathery, juniper and spice with a drying finish. Medium body and high, foamy carbonation. So frothy..... not for me.

Tap at Il Punto. Fruity, somewhat funky nose, dry, bretty. Hazy gold with a tall fine head. Light sweetness, bretty, on purpose or not? grapefruit. Crips, light, bitter, dry. Said to use sour wheat, could have also been infected. Interesting.

33cl bottle @ La Tana, Bruxelles, merci Tderoeck. BB 07/2017, lotto# L620. Dorée, col blanc. Arôme au nez fin malté pils, caramel pâle, léger houblonné versant sur le noble. Petite note douce venant du sucre de canne qui arrive plus en rétro, le tout garde un apport léger venant des houblons nobles. Palais est malté, léger pils, note biologique ressortant bien niveau des grains. Le tout reste centré sur ces derniers, un peu neutre avec un apport moyen des houblons. Le côté sucre de cane élève le tout et donne un fini plus abouti.

Il gusto al naso riconosce percezioni di liquirizia, orzo tostato, caffè e orzo. L’intensità olfattiva è normale e la persistenza olfattiva è sufficiente. Il cappello è di schiuma compatta, cremosa, aderente, a bollicine fini e con finale di pizzo sui bordi del bicchiere. Il colore è scuro impenetrabile. Il corpo è strutturato ma duttile. L’amaro è medio. L’intensità gustativa è elevata e la persistenza gustativa è buona. Il gusto è piacevole. Le sensazioni boccali finali sono luppolate, di birra impegnativa. Il finale è amarognolo, lungo, pulito, dissetante e complesso. L’aroma in bocca ha i sentori di miele, caffè, resina, frutta secca e agrumi.
