Huge, dense, lightly yellowish head leaving lacerings over hazy, if bright orange-copper beer. Whiff of vanilla, "hot" malts, hints of toast and stonefruit as very ripe peach, apricot or ripe pear. Tad fiery MF, toasted bread, thinned maltsyrup, garden herbs & weeds. Bitter finish, getting more and more earthy warming up. Medium bodied, good carbonation, very slick to oily feel. Interesting - Bière de Garde from the Midi... Txs to Stef!
