Straw blond with light haze. Aroma and flavour have an apple tartness. Slightly lemony. Not overly sour. Surprisingly decent body for 4% Berliner.

Imperial porter intégrant fève de cacao, café, vanille et cardamome, ce Dukus Bear a le double défaut d'avoir des arômes de malts torréfiés pas assez affirmés mais surtout de posséder des arômes de cardamome bien trop présents, déséquilibrant l'alliance aromatique. En verre, nous sommes sur un noir total surmonté d'une mousse brune de 3 mm. Joli nez sur le café, chocolat, vanille et un léger caramel. On aurait apprécié avoir le même cocktail à la dégustation. L'attaque n'est pas des plus réussis, un peu trop sur la fraîcheur, l'amertume sur les devants avec cardamome, vanille et café en retrait mais également avec une base plus douce aux accents de banane s'intégrant mal. La texture fine, n'a pas non plus ma préférence. L'équilibre malt/houblon s'améliore très nettement en seconde bouche mais avec une présence épicée qui devient beaucoup trop importante. La corpulence est correcte, sans plus. La complexité n'est pas non plus impressionnante. L'alcool, quant à lui, à 9,5 % soutient convenablement la structure. Le final, long n'amène pas de nouveautés. Trop d'imperfections.

5 October 2019. At Amabieris Tasting. Cheers to Ama Deke & Ghent beer crew! Hazy yellow with a lasting, thin, frothy, white head. Aroma of coffee powder, lemon, unripe mandarin, starfruit, wheat. Taste is light fruity sour, hinting at lemon & starfruit, bitter coffee powder & herbal tones taking over, with underlying wheat & yeast. Dryish, tart finish, vague floral hops, lingering yellow fruit mixing with coffee accents. Medium body, slick texture, soft carbonation. I appreciate the experiment but it's not the tastiest BW. Might want to try it again by itself.

5 October 2019. At Amabieris Tasting. Cheers to Ama Deke & Ghent beer crew! Clear yellow with a quickly dissipating, frothy, white head. Aroma of lemon, gooseberry, soap, wet cloth, lactic acid. Taste is medium fruity sour, quite some lemon & lactic acid, funky touch, tart unripe berries berries & yeast. Dry, tart, lemony & lactic finish, not much more. Medium body, slick-watery texture, fizzy carbonation. Rather weak in its execution.

5/X/19 - 33cl bottle from the brewer @ Amabieris tasting (Gentse Biervereniging), BB: 1/VI/21 - (2019-1716) Thanks to Ama Deke for the beer selection!
Pretty cloudy yellow beer, practically no head. Aroma: lots and lots of coffee, mocha, mocha cookies (Café Noir), nope, totally not my thing... MF: ok carbon, medium body. Taste: very fruity, nice acidity, lots of coffee, mocha, a bit fruity, not too bad for a coffee beer. Aftertaste: lots and lots of coffee, still a bit fruity, mocha, nice acidity.
