Sample draught @ SWAFFF! 2019 Brussels Craft Beer Festival (1st day) shared with BE RB crew and other gentle people there. F: medium, white, good retention. C: shiny pale gold, hazy. A: sour pickles, roasted onion, smell in the kitchen after long cooking, ketchup, Worcester sauce. T: light sour fruity with pickles, “čalamada”, onion, peach, really crazy combo but I like it, medium body and carbonation, enjoyable “beer”.

Draft sample @ Swafff '19. Orangé/ambré, col blanc-cassé. Arôme offre une douceur agréable de miel de châtaigne avec un petit rétro végétal, peut-être du potimarron, le tout parait trop jeune pour un barleywine. Le côté malté est plaisant quoique plus en retrait. Palais garde une petit douceur mielleuse marquée, une douceur de sucre résiduel perdure, l'effet attendu de houblon - amertume, dans ce cas, est quasi absent, et ce même pour un BW. L'ajout de potimarron donne peut-être une certaine rondeur végétale mais reste assez peu présent. Je pense que ce dernier reste difficile à marquer, comme dans les séries de Pumpkin beers, idéalement, faire grillé la courge avant pour en faire ressortir les sucres et le caramélisé. L’effervescence reste également assez faible. Le miel est ce qui me marque le plus.

Draft sample @ Swafff '19. Une liste de bière qui risque d’offusquer les puristes de la tradition brassicole. Le mélange est plutôt unique et étrange. Couleur dorée/orange trouble, col blanc. Arôme est fortement centré sur les oignons dans un aspect caramélisé -après des années de craft, première expérience - rappelant les prémices de l'époque de Sprecher aux USA avec une bière pizza ou leur Mbege. Le bouquet donne l'impression que du fromage Philadelphia y a été rajouté, petite note aigre qui est super fine au bouquet avec la mangue également trop en retrait par rapport à cet effet oignons. Palais fortement centré sur les oignons - pas l'effet poudre oignon noté dans certaines IPA mais un effet caramélisé, le palais est épais, effervescence est faible et encore, ce profile de fromage blanc à tartiner qui perdure. La mangue est minime et l'effet 'sour' est trop discret. Une bière qui soit rebutera les puristes ou qui aura le mérite d'être intéressante, sans pour cela innover dans la bière, car franchement ce n'est pas l'innovation que la bière artisanale à besoin. Bien à gouter, mais pas à refaire ou même à acheter une bouteille.

I Draught /I Small disappearing cream head over muddy, foxy orange beer. Wood, oxydized grains and unmistakably sweet chestnut, old cookies. Sweet, more chestnut, and old, oxydized cookies, old books. Medium to better bodied, quite slick, another one feeling better carbonated but not looking the part. Chestnut typically gives a beer a flavour as if it is prematuraly aged. The pumpkin doesn't help...

I Draught /I Pink head, fast gone over ridicously intense cardinal red beer. Beetroot-overpowered to the detriment of anything else. Earthy, thick black earth at that, red beetroot². Medium to better bodied despite relatively low ABV. The beer for the communist horticulturist.

I Draught /I Huge dense pink head over fully hazy cyclamen beer. Fruity/floral, great aromatic smells, rosepetals. Bitter-floral-chalk, quite complex, bit leathery background, earthy impression as from beetroot. Medium bodied at best, quite slick, velvety feel despite good carbonation. Surprisingly good!

Cloudy orange beer, thick white head, stable, adhesive, leaving some lacing in the glass. Aroma: WTF? This is very dirty, sweaty armpit onion smell, slightly spicy, maybe smoked, yuck. MF: ok carbon, medium body. Taste: slightly fruity, all onions, acidic, very unpleasant, dirty, don't like it at all!
