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.

Draft @ Ostara beerfest - LaSource.
Brune foncée, col café au lait.
Arôme est à fond sur l'ail noir avec un léger bouquet d'oignon fumé en rétro-nasal - effet un peu fermenté allant vers umami voire effet miso.
Palais est unique et déconcertant - de fait pas pour tout le monde.
Malté chargé en chocolat-cacao - léger apport de fumé/brûlé avec ce caractère épais-pâteux d'ail oir - ce dernier apporte une note d'umami en fin de bouche. Léger caramélisé. Epais en bouche avec un chocolaté bien dominant.

Poured black in color, off white head.
Strong woody aroma, strong barrel notes, tobacco and ash. Dry. Leathery. Overpowering.

7.4/10
Sweetish, stingy woody, slightly roasty with hints of vanilla and syrup, hints of ashy earthiness. A bit unbalanced

330ml can @ Belgian Beer Geeks Autumn Gathering 2025, courtesy of the brewer. Deep hazed orange, small white head. Lactose and vanilla really work well with the carroty character.. smooth, fruity, a touch orangey.. nice

Growler pour @ Belgian Beer Geeks Autumn Gathering 2025 courtesy of the brewer direct from an Italian beer festival. Pours a deep hazed green, no head. Good to try a traditionally syruped Berliner.. quite sweet, kiwi fruit, a touch medicinal, nice.
