Classically styled dry stout from this new Walloon ‘beer firm’, bottle from Belbière. Thick and creamy, dense, yellow-beige, stable, membrane-lacing, frothy head over a very dark chocolate brown beer with hazy mahogany edges – almost black generally speaking. Aroma of a lot of coffee grounds and cold black coffee, ‘fondant’ chocolate, ‘natural’ haemoglobin iron, roasted chicory, dried apple peel, black pepper, gypsum and other minerals, dried out pipe tobacco, old raisins, ‘drop’, black tea, cloves, bayleaf. Rounded, restrainedly fruity onset, quite low in sweetness as can be expected from a ‘dry’ stout of course, thin black olive-ish umami aspects, underlying sourishness but also very minerally all the way through, with a near-salty effect (salted caramel) as well as ‘blood-like’ iron that feels natural in this kind of beer. Medium carb, smooth and eventually very lightly powdery mouthfeel, lovely black chocolate-, coffee- and hard caramel-like ‘dark maltiness’ with a vaguely sweetish nutty and liquorish-tinged edge, yet finishing with a lot of roasted bitterness (roasted chicory), even turning a little bit ashy, supported by a spicy, tad rooty hop bitter accent. Long, dry, bitter maltiness lingers. Better than expected to be honest, this is indeed a well-made old school dry stout the Irish way, if a tad more yeasty (and in that sense only betraying its ‘Belgianness’). Recommendable.

Newest Bigote beer to date, a tripel spiced with yarrow (a common wild herb in these regions), brewed at Authentique like the others in this brand. Bottle from Belbière. Medium thick, off-white, shred-lacing, regular head quickly breaking in the middle but well-retaining around the edge, misty apricot blonde robe with ochre-ish hue. Aroma of sweet field flowers is very clear (the added yarrow making itself very noticeable, almost camomile- and clover-like as well as vaguely reminiscent of ‘kruidenjenever’), over impressions of banana, sweetbread, cloves, moist white pepper, soggy bread, honey, ripe pear, pineapple, straw. Sweetish onset, banana ester, ripe apricot and peach, minerally carb but not too harsh, supple bready malt body (bread pulp with residual honeyish sweetness) that soon merges with an indeed – expectedly – very pronounced, pollen- and wild flower-like ‘herbalness’ of the yarrow, a tad medicinal and ethereal but sweet as well, matching well with a soft, floral hop bitterish note. I’m not the greatest fan of spice beers, but yarrow is not very common anymore these days – at least not advertised as such – and I must admit that, even if a bit too sweet for me, this spice beer is quite well executed.
