La Choulette Brune

33cl bottle: Pours dark amber/brown with a lovely creamy head & lacings. Nose is roasted malts, dark fruits, yeast & sour barnyard which is also visible while tasting. Very dusty & odd! Appearantly a fresh bottle so I assume that this is the way it is supposed to taste! Smooth & sticky palate. Overall very disappointing!

Bottle. Clear medium amber color with a large, frothy, good lacing, fully lasting, off-white head. Aroma is moderate malty, roasted, dusty, moderate yeasty, barnyard, kitchen zink-clothe. Flavor is moderate sweet and light to light moderate bitter with a average to long duration. Body is medium, texture is oily, carbonation is soft. (290408)

Bottle: Poured a dark brown with a tan mushroom foarming cream head, slowly creeped back down the side of the glass. The aroma is toasted malts hints that it might contain a sugary caramel also. Taste is a roasted to burnt malt with some dark fruits and yet still hints of caramel (not overwhelming as others). The finish is dry with a slight acidic burn. Happy 30th B-Day me!

75 cL bottle. Pours clear amber to brown with dense tan head. Light malty into light roasted aroma, minor bitterhops note. Flavour starts caramel malty, shows a light roasted note and more caramel. Light caramel/chocolate smoothness. Minor acidic note following before a distinct bitterness takes over into the finish.

Bottle@Home. Strong aroma of laurel. Ruby color, beige head, very nice lace. Light sweet, laurel, hint of sourness, roasted malts, black berries, thin. Nice flavors but they fall short, thinnish and a strange sourness.
