Small whitish rim on pale amber-gold beer. Alcohol (some), lots of malts, caramalt, sugar, faint fruity esters, cardboard for aromas. Again alcohol in the taste, sweet, with outspoken caramel or even toffee, slight almondy flavour. Tastes as if adjuncts have been liberally used. Warming up from bad to worse. Alcoholwarming, medium bodied all the same, medium attenuation. I’d say as readily Huyghe, but my info says different.

Found at an Ed in Versailles. Surprised to see only one other rating for this one! Pours with a dark gold colour and light head that dies down quick. Some caramel, malts, and grain on the nose, but not in any significant quantities. Taste is a very sweet, almost bitter, caramel and malt concoction. Weak mouthfeel. Not so great.
