Brown dumpy 33cl bottle, obtained from Biershop De Bierboom in Brugge.
This is a Blonde beer with truffles added, this small farm brewery do weird stuff with their beers. The famous French Black Truffles are found in the same aera as this beer is brewed.
Poured into a Westmalle chalice with as much of the sediment as possible remaining in the bottle. The beer was a thin, pale yellow with no head at all, reminded me of a scrumpy cider in looks. There is also a very slight haze in the body, plenty of carbonisation, clearly see bubbles rising through the beer.
Female pigs are used to find Truffles, they grow just below the surface and are found by smell. The smell given off is akin to the aroma a male pig gives off when after a mate. The smell of this beer wasn't of pig sweat, but it wasn't far off. A biliousness, disgustingly sweet vinagerous smell hits the nose, my vocabulary isn't large enough to put the stench into words, sorry.
I was looking forward to this beer, I have another one from the brewery, with Hazlenuts added I think, not looking forward to that so much now!
The taste is weird too, a sweet sourness and nasty farmyard/horse/manure/fertilizer/pig taste produce something quiet unique in the beer world. Sadly it is an experience I wouldn't want too try again.
