We had a pleasant experience with this beer, generous notes of malt, yeast, notes of plum, figs and apricot, perfect for the season, 20.12.2017, tasting it at Lausanne, Prélaz.

Аромат немного спертый но приятный, в меру сладкий, немного специй. Цвет красно коричневый, глубокий. Потрясающая кремовая мелкопузырчатая пена. Тело на удивление среднее, питкое, почти полностью отсутствует карбонизация. Вкус карамельный, немного шоколадный, также присутствуют специи, намек на темные фрукты. В послевкусие появляется горчинка, но быстро отдает свое место хмелю.
