Dec 19, 2008 Bottle, 8.7% as Cuvée Li Crochon Bruin. Spicy aroma, anis, caramel, hint of yeast. Clear red chestnut colour. Very small head. The flavour is quite sweet with some cookie spices, caramel, cinnamon, anis, perhaps a little ginger. Fat fruity yeast notes, in the finish. Not like baking yeast, so they are OK in this beer.
