A slow beer to enjoy by a fireplace. A fine selection of three caramel malts create the backbone of the beer, which is underlined by high final gravity. Medium alcohol content, Sladek hops and chamomile make this beer a cozy, warming drink.

Draft @ Borefts 2016. Shared with RB Belgian crew. Ambrée, col crémeux beige. Arôme au nez plaisant, fleuri, rétro boisé et herbacé avec un côté d’épice et herbe rappelant le thym, aiguille de pin. Palais est malté, caramel, léger fleuri, sous-bois, camomille, thym, malt pils et pâle voire Munich. Les épices et herbes - encore ce mélange très typique de Labietis font que le tout forme un ensemble plaisant et innovant apportant ample notes que on retrouve trop peu dans les bières avec des éléments proches des gruits. Franchement encore impressionné par les bières de ces lettons, original tout en restant traditionnel.

Sampled @ Borefts Beer Festival 2016, Day 1. Hazy red-brown color, medium szied beige head. Smell and taste malts, herbs or spices, a slight hint of dried fruit, some sort or herbs or spice is prominently in there, I think it’s anise but I’m not sure. Well, in any case, too much herbs and spices for me. Meh.
