Bottle @ home. Dark black colour, dark brown foam, disappears quickly. Roasty, notes of chocolate, caramel, hoppy finish. Very Belgian stout but enjoyable!

Pours black, foam instantly fades, but in its short lifespan looks tanned. Smell is full, sweet, tar. Taste is full, sharp, roasty, ashy, tar, very mild 'plastic' notes. Pehaps too much dark malts ? Thin bodied, especially for the ABV. Mild herbal notes. Rather high carbo. Mild chocolate in the aftertaste.

750ml bottle from BXLBeerFest. Dry, burnt and roasty with some earthiness, licorice, coffee and sweetish syrupy notes. Okay, a bit too burnt malty.

New species in the evolutionary tree of Homo Beerectus beers, this one the 'ancestral root' of the malty branch of the tree, made with 1/3 malted wheat and unspiced - so anything but a traditional witbier and perhaps better regarded as a - still idiosyncratic - Weissbier… At BXL Beerfest. Thick, foamy, bubbly, off-white head, misty yellowish peach blonde robe. Aroma of banana, green apple, old bread pulp, damp straw, raw potato, some light DMS (overcooked cauliflower). Banana and apple notes in the onset, bit estery but not overdone, pear, fizzy carb, sweetish core with a light wheat-sourish edge, rounded and a bit soapy in body. Earthy potato-like note in the end, a little bit starchy with some earthy hop bitterness but the emphasis indeed remains on the maltiness and the malted wheat character comes through very purely; some phenolic spicy notes as well. Quite straightforward, the DMS bothered me a bit, but otherwise an interesting experiment and, as was the intention, an almost 'nakedly' malty beer, totally different from the hop-forward beers we usually get from the more innovative and smaller breweries these days. Quenching.
