330ml bottle from L’Abbaye des Saveurs, Lille. Pours cloudy orange, good pillowy white head. Aroma is herbal, spicy with dank coffee. Taste is herbal with old coffee dregs and a light chili kick on the finish. No mention of chili anywhere, but I’m definitely gettin something. Not really my go-to style, but I can appreciate it.

(Thx!) Sampled draft @ Tilquin English Beer Festival 2016. Black, mocha head. Nose is thick mocha & massive raspberry, lots of raspberry pits, some jam. Taste is more raspberry with stout as opposed to stout with raspberry. Massive raspberry pits & fruit upfront, massive fruit leading into chocolate, mocha, faint roast. Body is massive raspberry pits & chocolate. Nice one.

(Thx!) Sampled draft @ Tilquin English Beer Festival 2016. Black, little herbal. I am unfamiliar with Génépi, nose is indeed massive alpine herbs, a bit anise & absinth-like for me, spice, extremely so, intense. The alpine herbs are far more muted in the taste, still clearly present but more balanced by mocha, caramel, chocolate & sugar in the background, some cough syrup. Powdery syrup body. Very interesting concepts, works surprisingly well, I can see why some people were put off by this, this is an interesting & fun one, takes some bracing & it needs to be enjoyed on its own terms.

Draft @ Tilquin English Fest ’16, day2. Brune foncée presque noire, col blanc-cassé, le tout reste doré au verre sur fin filament huileux. Arôme est généreux, plein de belles notes de framboise, ici un fruité vrai, pas de jus, note le côté organique terreux et frais, ce dernier parvient même à supplanter les notes de malts qui sont centrées sur un chocolaté et grillé. Palais est plaisant présentant une belle balance entre un malt chargé et un fruité rouge de baies framboise qui apporte une belle fraicheur de bouche tout en gardant un léger côté aigrelet terreux. Belle nouveauté, parfaite en dessert avec du chocolat.

Draft @ Tilquin English Fest ’16, courtesy of and shared with the fine Belgian RB crew. Brune foncée, col fin beige. Arôme au nez axé sur les malts, pointe de lacto en rétro mais arrivant en retrait par rapport aux effluves plus grillées. Palais est malté, fin biscuité, pâle et pointe d’amertume houblonnée. Le côté lactose est assez discret ce qui au final n’est pas mal considérant que nombres de milk stout sont souvent bcp trop douce.
