3.9 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 16/20
75cl cork and caged brown bottle, drank during one of my French beer evenings in October 2007.
Poured into my Hoegaarden Grand Cru glass and two Palm glasses, all in one pour. Clear amber colour with a thin white head.
The aroma was all about caramel, toffee and roasted malts, very impressive.
The flavours imparted in the taste mainly revolved around a toffee base, vry moorish.
Although everything I have said about this beer is toffeeish, it isn’t a sweet tasting beer, nor is it overly thick in the mouthfeel, just a normal body to it.
This is a well made beer, Northern France has some good beers and this is one of the better ones I’ve tried.
