Description
For years we brewed beers in our basement when we read an article in October 2010 about the Brouwland beer competition.We decided to risk our chances and sent our version of a Trappist beer, a dark beer, full malt, of 10%.In March 2011 we were informed that we were selected for the final. Beginning in April 2011 was ultimately the final.The seven finalist beers were tasted by beer connoisseurs, Zythologists Rijckers Anne and Yannick De Cocteau and some Belgian brew masters like Paul Arnott (Dubuisson), and Jean-Marie De Rock (Orval). The first beers were tasted and judged one for one, much was noted. Mutually there was not much talk together ,until they started our beer (the final seven beers were tasted in order of alcohol). All jurors began to talk to each other and two of them even gave us a thumbs up. Then, we knew it was good. After fifteen minutes of deliberations they announced the winner … Vliegend Paard Brouwers from Oedelem with their Préaris Quadrupel.

Aus der Flasche (bbe 11.09.2017) im 2020-11 getrunken. Dieses dunkle Bier kommt mit einem kräftigen Malzaroma daher. Dazu kommen dunkle Schokolade und eine leichte Bitterkeit wie von Röstaromen. Die lange Flaschenreifung ist hier deutlich. Kein schlechtes Bier!

Cette version vieillie en vin rouge de notre Marius, est très intéressante. Je ne suis pas des plus fans des vieillissements en fut de vin rouge pour les Imperial Stout, préférant cognac ou whisky, mais le résultat est ici tout à fait intéressant avec un vin rouge (margaux) subtilement intégré et donnant une autre interprétation de l’Imperial Stout. Joli travail des plus intéressant et bien équilibré.

Voilà un beau ratage de vieillissement en fût qui vient gâcher un Marius qui est, de base, un très bon Imperial Stout. Il est d’ailleurs compliqué de le reconnaître et c’est une aigreur doublée d’un alcool vif qui domine, avec en complément des arômes noisette et de raisin et de légères épices, mais où café et chocolat disparaissent nettement. Je suis forcément déçu d’un tel résultat qui n’est pas à la hauteur de la brasserie. En verre nous sommes sur un marron foncé avec une mousse brune nappant la surface. Le nez laisse perplexe avec un alcool sur les devants accompagné de noisette, de chocolat, et de légers arômes de café, vanille et chêne. Mais c’est à la dégustation que l’aigreur se fait remarquer défigurant la base de l’Imperial Stout. Même la corpulence n’est plus au rendez-vous. Vraiment pas exceptionnel.
