Nice aroma of flowers and grass. A summery beer in flavour with fresh cut grass being dominant. It also has a long malty finish.

A dark brown ale with a creamy, light beige head. Mainly malty aromas including caramel and berries along with a roasted malt backdrop. A sweet flavour profile; subtly chocolatey, a touch fruity and more roasted malt tones. A predominantly dry malty bitter finish with perhaps a whisper of hoppiness. Sweet and roasted throughout and a fair palate texture.

Look away, and its effervescent head might well vanish. Smells like a home-brew shop but is drinkable due to the inclusion of alcohol. [edit - just tipped this!]

Bouteille de 500 ml. Nos yeux observent une bière de couleur cuivrée-rougeâtre et un col de mousse modeste. Au nez on découvre des arômes de chocolat, de sucre brun, de cerises noires et de fruits dans l’alcool. En bouche le corps est moyen avec une effervescence moyenne. La bière possède un arrière goût d’enfer (chocolat, cerises noires et café) le tout complété par une bonne dose de houblon.

Dark brown pour with vivacious white head. Aroma is rich with caramel, biscuit, and roast. Flavor is rich- sugary caramel and molasses with a slight balancing roasty flavor. Palate is smooth and thick. Decent offering.

Appearance: Pours a clear, chestnut brown body with a bubbly, whitish head. Smell: Fairly fruity nose smelling of raisins, berries, and sherry-soaked bananas, with further notes of dark caramel and, to a lesser degree, roasted malts. Taste: Dark maltiness yields a taste of caramel and tiny bits of roast and chocolate. Brown sugar sweetness throughout. All of the previous fruits from the aroma. Perceived wood hint. Spicy British hops provide a light, cleansing bitterness. Finishes dry and fruity. Mouthfeel: Medium-bodied. The medium-low carbonation makes for a smooth mouthfeel. Drinkability: Fairly enjoyable and worth trying!
