This one is coming from the ex mugi shop, Bussigny. Best before 01/23, after a wonderful walk through the Lavaux. Interesting one, light and watery at the beginning, becoming more intense at the final, roasty, a bit smocked, malty, coffee, hop, a bit fruity, 20.09.23

Tap (Park Bar). Black, dense beige head. Aroma of bread, gentle roast, chocolate. Creamy. Not all that sweet with gentle roast, modest bitterness. Just wanted a little more of a finish, but not bad.
