One of the newest Enigma beers, tasted at Wieze Bierfestival. Snow white, moussy, lacing, stable head, clear golden robe with greenish hue. Aroma of orange peel, passion fruit, dried mango, green banana, pine resin, cereals, orchids, pink pepper. Clean, fruity onset, pineapple and melon with a dash of banana, smooth mouthfeel, very supple with cereally malt sweetish body. Aromatically hoppy finish, floral, citrusy and a tad piney, adding mild but effective bitterness. Modest in not pretending to be an IPA - though to me this would qualify, at least as a ’Belgian IPA’, and a good one at that.

New quadrupel by this diligent new beer company. Moussy, bubbly, pale beige-ish off-white head, translucent bronze robe with ruby red hue - but far from ’black’ as the name would suggest. Aroma of raisins, banana, caramel, cloves, melting brown sugar, ruby port, apple sauce, hazelnuts, soggy brown bread, plum brandy. Estery onset, plum and banana sweetness reinforced by residual dark sugars, hints of peach, date and apple too, slight underlying sourishness, fluffy and full body, caramelly and bready, with the brown sugar sweetness on top, toasty touch in the finish, herbal hop bitterish note, clove-like phenols and a glow of warming, port-like alcohol. Apparently inspired by the blue Chimay and I get that idea, which is not badly executed here; I do have something agains the name, though, as ’Black Fuel’ in the contemporary beer world suggests a heavy stout or porter rather than a quad.

Thx! Sampled draft @ Gollem. Hazy golden, creamy white head. Nose is weird soap, watery, smells like a radler with some added USA hops, strange & not good. Taste is weird soap, sugar, soap, candy, very watery soap, radler notes with some USA hops. Quite watery with soap, watery radler body. Poor, no idea what went on here but I am not a fan. Doesn’t deserve the Ragnaröck tittle.
