33cl bottle, BB12/2011. Dorée brumeuse, col blanc épais avec énormément de sédiments de levure. Arôme levure avec note de malt caramel, houblon léger et ce profile de levure fermenté et de cave/sous-bois. En bouche, léger épices, malt caramel, aspect très grains et biscuité, sucre candi et tjrs une levure très présente, voire trop rendant le palais un peu spécial trop épais. Houblon reste discret. Pas certain de cette bière, palais ne me dit rien, très épais, avec une impression de grumeaux et levure.

Fully hazy yellow color with a medium, firm head. Medium body, fine carbonation. Pale malt aroma, some acidity, fruity notes. Pale-malty flavour, alcoholic sweetens with a grassy bitterness. Bitter and sweet finish. B@H
