Saint Arnould Bière de lÉvêque

Pours a clear amber brown with a short-lived happy little head and minimal lacing. Aroma is sweet and spicy - delicious! Tastes nice and malty and spicy with a touch of diacetyl; plenty going on here. At first I thought it was a bit yeasty but as time went on it was the spices - cinnamon, nutmeg, cloves - that really kicked in as it warmed. Light carbonation, body is fine - crisp, even. Nice beer, nice surprise! Thanks to Boutip for the trade!

bouteille de 341ml. bière ambré, mousse mince et non-persistante. nez d’épices et de caramel, bouche agréable, un brin piquante, caramel, manque un petit quelque chose.

341 ml bottle from Trappe a Fromage, served at cellar temperature in a tulip glass.\

App.: Clear, deep amber, smallish light tan head. Aroma: Lots of cinnamon and ginger, very “pumpkin spice”, floral honey, oranges, a little alcohol, other fruitiness. Palate: Medium body, very low effervescence, a touch astringent. Flav.: Burnt sugar and bread crust, more cinnamon, allspice and ginger, less of the fruits, a little wood; somewhat sweet, a touch of brightness, a touch of bitterness; leaves light toasted malts and a little bit of the spices.

Never a fan of spice brews and certainly not what I expected here. I will Avoid Eveque.
