Purchased at Village de la Biere in Strasbourg, France; enjoyed at my hotel in Eppingen, DE before a busy work week. Appearance is a cola-like brown with a rich off white head that rims around the glass. Aroma of grapes, wine yeast, a bit of dark chocolate malt, smell is slightly faint. Taste goes down nice and smooth, full bodied, rich, tastes pretty good. For the 2nd French beer I’ve had I’m pretty happy with this.
