Dorée du Mont des Frenes

(Bottle at One Pint on 2008-03-14) Deep brown-amber colour. A bit hazy. Fruity nose. Lots of malts some of which is roasted. Quite dry palate. Some sweetness.

Bottled. Deep amberish brown colour with mediumsized beige head. Aroma is caramel malts, dry dark fruits along with spices, yeast and some grass. Flavour is quite much the same along with some mild earthyness and flowery hops. Aftertaste is mainly fruits meeting earth and yeast.

(Bottled, 0.75l) Very hazy, dark amber with a small, tanned head. Sweetish-caramely, dried-fruity aroma with anise, ashy hints, and some other spices. Caramely-malty, lightly roasty and stingy-bitter flavor with dryish-ashy honey and a bitter, mildly acidic finish. Medium-bodied, quite low-carbonated palate. A typical beer for the brewery - quite simple, strangely bitter, and a bit lager-like.
