Bouteille 33cl, BB 04/2025, lot# 1249 achetée à la brasserie en fév 2024.
Une version pimentée plus hivernale de la Pepper Trip mais avec un trio de poivres qui change.
Couleur dorée/pâle, col fin crémeux blanc-cassé.
Arôme est plaisant malté, caramel, pâle, épicé -banane esters, agrumes discrets en rétro-nasal avec un effet de poivre concassé délicat tirant vers le boisé/terreux finement fumé/séché, épicé.
Palais sur une base assez classique franco-belge, petite note de cara pâle, pils, pointe de grillé voire de biscuit. L'apport des poivres se ressent avec une belle note de chaleur poivrée - cela reste aussi avec un côté agrumes, pomme caramel et un côté ester de banane.

Bouteille 33cl, BB 07/2025, lot# 1276. Achetée à la brasserie en fév 2024.
Brune foncée voire cuivre, col épais crémeux café au lait léger.
Arôme sur un boquet alliant un savant caractère malté sur le torréfié avec presque une oncutosité d'espresso et un retrait houblonné allant vers les fruits rouges, voire une infusion de cassis.
Palais est sur une bellke base maltée - ici clairement une black IPA de style nordiste - caramel, toasté, petite note de crystal et torréfié avec une franche amertume sur un houblonné Français voire d'inspiration anglaise? - petite touche fraisier, myrtille voire de cassis. Sec sur la fin avec une note de cendre.

Bottle shared at Brewver Belgian Winter Gathering. Clear pale yellow color, small white head. Aroma and flavor are lightly malts, yeast, quite bitter as well, distant fruity note, the bitter flavor from the white of the orange. A bit orval-ish in the flavor. Not bad at all! 8-7-8-8-7,5
