Small cream-greige rim over virtually black beer. Liquorice, dark malts, some chocolate. More liquorice in the flavour, roast, burnt toast, dry. Quite light MF, maybe tad too watery for its own good. Almost no aftertaste, but for some roast. Well carbonated. Not bad, but... somehow one wants more fireworks these days.

No head but for some bubbles. Darker faintly veiled blond beer. Both capsaicine and cinnamon. The last one covering not only the latter, but also any beery aromas. Sharp-ish, but way less than feared. Do I have to understand that "California" Reaper is something else, or is Carolina Reaper meant? Still, capsaicine, cinnamon, speculoos herbs. Spicy, hot and dull at te same time. Not very dense, almost uncarbonated. I keep at a loss as to what pepper was used, but in any way, I don't understand the idea of adding fiery capsicum to beer.

25cl bottle sample au Marché des producteurs luxembourgeois '24, Place Lux, Ixelles.
Noire/brune fonée, col fin peu tenace café au lait/moka.
Arôme est léger sur le malté grillé, pâle, chocolaté, avec un léger rétro-nasal de fruits noirs/rouges et de baies.
Palais est sur une belle pétillance que je trouve un peu trop élevé pour ce genre de 'dry stout' - fine amertume avec des éléments de chocolat noir, cacao, biscuité. Fruits noirs rappelant le cassis, mais aussi la myrtilleet la framboise.

Dark beer by a microbrewery set up in the Luxemburg province of Belgium in 2021 and apparently dedicated to Mary, mother of Jesus; brewed with malted rye and beet syrup. Thick but quickly collapsing, bubbly, busily cobweb-lacing, very irregular, very large-bubbled greyish beige head on a blackish beer with thin yet clear mahogany edge. Aroma of dry caramel, glazed beetroot, liquorice, wet toast, unsugared chewing gum, bayleaf, nutmeg, dried thyme, pond water, some vague 'drop', petrichor, coffee grounds or diluted black coffee, chicory, iron (quite strong and unambiguously confirmed by the 'hand test'), old hazelnuts on a dry forest floor, porcini, cold miso soup, plaster. Sweetish onset but restrainedly so, some dried blackberry and dried fig, umami elements (green olive, beef stock cube) here and there, softish carb with slick mouthfeel, a bit on the thinnish side perhaps; very smooth walnutty, hard-caramelly and eventually toasty malts, sleek with slight metallic edges and something faintly bubblegummy underneath, gaining momentum in the end when more roasty bitterness (chicory or coffee grounds) combine with a good dose of leafy, earthy hops and a lingering, persistent liquorice note. A general earthiness in 'clean' sort of way - however paradoxical that may sound - is achieved by that beetroot syrup. Earthy, coffeeish and dry-caramelly stout, a dry stout in all, with some unusual features, a tad undercarbonated, a bit metallic and showing some retronasal beef stock effects: not undrinkable by any means, but there is no room for that beetroot thing here and the whole could have been more sleek and focused. Weird.

Verre 15cl de la bouteille @ Marché des Producteurs Luxembourgeois, Place Lux Ixelles.
Couleur pâle/orange, col assez conséquent et qui tient bien au verre tout en retombant au milieu - de l'avis du brasseur la faute au verre en plastique - ce qui ne s'est pas passé pour d'autres bières dans le même verre.
Bière de style belge assez classique avec un apport houblonné noble qui confère un bouquet et palais fleuri oscillant sur le terreux, malté sur un léger caractère pils - pâle.
Résultat peu convaincant sans être mauvais mais retenant un caractère un peu amateur.

Verre 15cl de la bouteille @ Marché des Producteurs Luxembourgeois, Place Lux Ixelles. BB 30/12/2023.
Couleur pâle présentant un léger voile, col blanc moyen.
Bière assez basique qui surfe entre une blanche belge et plus cette approche allemande. L'apport de Nelson Sauvin confère une touche un peu plus fruité de raisin sans vraimetn convaincre.
Le volet esters de la levure reste tout de même un peu plus sur un côté girofle - et les explications du brasseurs sur la méthode de brassage et le fait de ne pas avoir des esters de bananes nous ont semblé confus.
Pas mauvaise mais bière dont le résultat est approximatif. Même résultat sur la blonde.
