Dark, brownish red with little dots of fizz and a thin ring. Very chocolatey toast with a subtle hint of malt aroma accentuated by british hops. Flavour gentle toasty, roasty malt accentuated by a balanced, chocolatey sweetness and malt bitterness throughout. A bit of that sour/young flavour.

A very fine presentation, refreshing with a three dimensional character.Tan cap over deep clear brown body. Medium intense hops balance well with roasty malt.

Head is dense and creamy, mostly lasting and produces good lacing. The flavour is well balanced: medium roast with some sweetness. It actually tastes like a blend of two beers. The finish smooth, soft carbonation and medium to full bodied. Paskal (146), La Prairie, Quebec, Canada
