Spiesy (2330), Global Citizen, Greater London, England Oct 17, 2004 Bottled Conditioned. Acquired directly from the brewery on my recent trip to Normandy. A really nice brew this. The brightest of the bottled beers acquired from the brewery. Deep caramelized brown colour. Fine, steadily serviced beige head. Increasingly speckled and patchy. Clean caramel aroma with not even the slightest of hint of ethanol. Faint nutmeg and eggnog as well. Malty at first but then a squirrel gripping bitterness comes over the top and delivers bite at the finish. A wonderful and probably rare brew.
