The Marron is produced from barley malt, Saaz hops and chestnuts added during the mashing. The aroma is intense and definitely geared to the tones of caramel and roasted malt. In the mouth it is fresh and structured with an amazing citrusy/spicy finish and delicate perfumed notes of chestnut flour.

Bottle sample at a tasting at the Beer & Beyond shop. Thanks Tom L. Opens with a gusher. Murky orange with almost no head. Aroma of yeast, Bisli-Grill/BBQ-like smokiness, malt and a fruity hint. Smokiness mellows out a bit as the beer warms up. Slightly sweetish flavor with some chestnut, smokiness, malt, a bit of caramel, a fruity note and yeast. Medium-bodied, a bit flat.
