3.6 AROMA 9/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 14/20
Huge, irregular, slightly off-white head, slightly hazy straw coloured beer, well carbonated. Spicey and blossomy nose; lime flowers, and camomille is what I get. Then very fresh, green hops emerge - British hops, I’d say. This nose is a marvel of subtlety. Taste: eughh. Gruelling combination of almonds, unroasted peanuts (arachide) and a spicey bitterness. Disconcerting in the extreme. Greenmalt, and unidentifyable spices. My companion says ensilaged grass. Some hops all the same - wild hops? Rather light MF. Nobody would dare to venture 9% ABV. That nose promised heaven. What is this arachide taste (in malt)? If you like this strange taste, this is murderously drinkable, as it appears light, but oh God if those 9% are real...
I think those 9 spices were chosen because they smelt so good - but how they came out of a lagering tank was anybody’s guess...

Bottle. White creamy high and lasting head. Hazy golden body. Aroma of oranges and lemon. Strange hoppy flavor of the 9 spices which I cannot figure out. Coriander might be one of them. This will not become one of my favorites.

3.6 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 14/20
75 cl bottle. Big, off-white head with a cloudy orange-coloured beer underneath. Some particles floating round despite careful handling. Spicy aroma with moderate mild citrus. Grassy hoppiness. Rather dry flavours from the very start - from the spices ( that are not too easy to distinguish though coriander is probably among them) as much as the hops, I suspect, warming alcohol, yeasty. Medium bodied. No doubt an original contribution on the Wallonian brewing scene.
