3.3 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 13/20
Bottle, 75cl corked. As Brassin D’Hiver. A big, off-white head. forms over an almost clear dark golden body. Some lacings left. The aroma is rather spiced and herbal, with toffee-ish maltyness and pale malts. A touch of fruits too. The flavor is pretty much the same, sort of typical BdG, maybe a bit too fruity though. Full body, quite dry. Lasting finish with biscuits, dried fruits and caramel. A quite pleasant one. 130222

3.4 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 15/20
Belle couleur orange cuivré, sous une tenace mousse tirant sur le crème ; liquide parfaitement limpide. Les saveurs de sucre cuit, de crème brûlée et de fruits tropicaux, annoncées au nez, se manifestent. Une belle bière plutôt ronde, qui cache bien son alcool. Une des meilleures françaises sur le marché québécois.
