Description
Born in La-Roche-en-Ardenne and developed and refined in Ghent, this hoppy beer combines Walloon passion and Flemish perseverance. An exceptional Belgian product that owes its name to a Flemish and a Walloon Belgian. Independently of each other, they had the same inspiration. So they named the youngest descendant of the Belgian beer paradise… L’Arogante. More Belgian you can’t get!

Voici un stout atypique car structurée autour d'une amertume sur les agrumes et herbacée bien affirmée (IBU de 50). Elle jouit en outre d'un très bon équilibre. Les amateurs de stout plus classiques seront très certainement déçus mais j'ai personnellement apprécié ce contraste avec les arômes de malts torréfiés. Une présence en bouche plus ample et des arômes plus intenses auraient cependant été appréciables. En verre nous sommes sur un brun foncé quasi noir et totalement limpide quasiment sans mousse. Le nez est sur le café, le chocolat et une expression fruitée d'agrumes bien présente. L'ensemble manque peut-être un peu de pep's. A L'attaque c'est une texture fine que l'on découvre. Celle-ci est très portée sur l'amertume à la fois herbacée et sur les agrumes. La base maltée sur le chocolat est nettement en retrait. Déconcertant pour un stout. La deuxième bouche continue sur cette lancée, une pointe poivrée en plus et avec une amertume qui s'élève légèrement. L'arrière bouche fait preuve d'arômes de café et de chocolat commençant à s'affirmer. Mais ce n'est qu'à compter de la troisième bouche que ceux-ci et notamment le café commencent à envahir le palais. Le final d'une longueur moyenne verra un beau duo amertume/malt. L'alcool à 5,5% est honnête, sans plus. En étant un peu plus débridée sur la base torréfiée sur le final, cette arogante y aurait certainement gagné, mais stout agréable pour une idée intéressante.

16th May 2018, 33cl bottle inside Bier Paleis, Brugge. Light haze to the golden body, white blanket of foam on top. Citrus lead to the aroma, mild spicy and yeasty back up to the brew, which starts off semi-sweet in the mouth, before a little citrus bitterness takes over.

17-05-18 // bottle bought at Petit Belge Wiesbaden. Unfiltered golden. Foamy white head. Nose is mild hoppy. Dry malty, typical belgian ipa with a yeasty spicyness. Citrus and grapefruit bitter And even some floral touches. Quite high carbo.

At Trollekelder, Ghent. Shared with Anke.
Pours cloudy black with a lasting, small, frothy, tan head. The aroma contains roasted malt, dark fruits, fruity hops, hint of dark chocolate, caramel, coffee roast, sweet tobacco. It tastes light chocolatey sweet and light to medium roasted bitter with more coffee and malty tones; dry, toasty, bit hoppy finish. Medium body, slick, somewhat thin, texture, soft to fizzy carbonation. Very drinkable Stout, though a bit underwhelming.
