A contemporary take on the modern French classic. Malt-driven notes of toffee, almonds, dark bread & golden raisins spiked with elderberries & a hint of elderflower.

Clear reddish amber, small beige head, lasting with nice lacing. Aroma is lots of raisins, pop tarts, plums, floral undertones, musk melon. Flavor is less interesting, medium sweet and somewhat harshly bitter. Medium body, low carbonation. Lingering bitterness on the finish.

Draft at the brewery. Poured a ruby amber color with an off-white head. Aroma was light fruits, berries, earthy hop notes. Plenty of sweet malts, berries, floral notes. Pretty nice.
