Hazy amber color; small head. Sweet aroma, perfumy, chestnuts, marron glacés, actually, and light liquor. The flavor is very sweet, with a precise chestnut flavor, and low bitterness. Sweet and pleasant, a bit weird.

Bottled. A hazy amber beer with a lazing off-white head. The aroma has notes of nuts and malt as well as lighter notes of caramel. The flavor is sweet with notes of malt, spices, and caramel as well as a light touch of chestnuts. Decent - maybe the best chestnut beer I’ve ever had.
