4.40. “Pigeon” Raised in the semi-wild state, cooked in a casserole, horseradish base, foie gras cream, black cherry sauce and sautéed spinach. I don't like the pairing. The astringency and bitterness in the dish doesn't work with this beer.

Lambic Vin Jaune / La Vie Est Belge (2022) Q
4.55. “The rice Savarin” In the classic “Cantarelli” version, with pickled tongue, Parmigiano Reggiano risotto and porcini mushroom ragù with small meatballs. The risotto works quite well with the beer. The beef tongue doesn't.

“Ravioli with eel and morels” Ravioli with lightly smoked eel, guinea fowl stock, morels and parsley chlorophyll. The pepper works well, but the acidity is a little too high.

“Tuna marrow and caviar with tartare” Piedmontese Fassona marrow cooked on the grill, pintail tartare, tuna sauce and Siberian Black Adamas caviar. The pairing works very well.

4.20. Ordered a super oxidized bottle. It smells like very old sneakers. Defective. Then I asked for a more "correct" one from others, it shows lively but a little aggressive sourness and satisfying fruitiness.
