Fruity and spicy brown ale with caramelized notes. Brown Ale with an aromatic fruity bouquet that includes notes of caramel, brewed with cinnamon cloves and plums. A blast of wheat, caramel, spicy and fruity notes.

Draught from ginger Manhattan. Pours dark. Intensely sour more so than even most sour beers. Not a favorite.

It is a good beer, with nice aroma of caramel, some spices, malt, few hop, there is a small side of coffee, better than a boxer brunette. 12.11.2016, tasting it at Lausanne, Prélaz, buying it probably at one coop supermarket.

On tap. Pours a dark mahogany with light head. Aromas of spice, doughy malts, a bit of Belgian yeast, and copper. Flavors follow same with emojis on malts and spice.

Pour essayer de faire belge, nos amis suisses intègrent donc cannelle, girofle et Purée de pruneau dans leur composition. Le résultat est bière manquant de finesse mais avec un ensemble qui reste cependant plat, sans variation. Le visuel est sur un brun légèrement voilé sans mousse et une effervescence extrêmement fine moyennement soutenue. Le nez laisse paraitre une légère acidité peu appréciable. Les arômes sont sur le pruneau, la cannelle, le candy, le girofle, la cerise et le raisin. En bouche c'est relativement grossier sur une base simple et un ensemble sans relief et trop sucré. A la dégustation, les épices sont trop présentes sur une base douce sans complexité. La corpulence et la longueur ne sont même pas exceptionnelles. L'alcool, quant à lui, à 7,5 % est relativement discret. Il faudra dire à nos amis suisses, que les belges arrivent à obtenir des bières complexes sans ajout.

0.33l bottle thanks to Lore. Murky orangish brown head with basically no head. Sour cherry comes first in the aroma with some cocoa, nutmeg and bay leaves. Even some burnt sugar and pepper are there. Taste is similar to the aroma with notes of dark sugar syrup, cocoa, nutmeg, toast, sour cherry, orange zest and floral hops. Medium body with low carbonation. Nice one.
