swing top bottle (330ml). -Trade with Allen (thanks Julian!) Murky brown coloured, small off-white head that went away fast, spicy nose with hint of plums. Acidic and spicy with obvious presence of plums and touch of caramel. Mild spicy finish and aftertaste. Interesting and not so offensive like La Meule was.

0.33l bottle courtesy of and shared with ogivlado who got it in a trade with Allen (thanks both!) Poured a hazy amber-red body, nice, with a small white head, tiny even. Light nose, slightly acidic with notes of plums. Light spicy taste, maybe too light. Plums are obvious too. Slightly sweet, acidic, with nothing much under the fruit and the spices. Kinda balanced and enjoyable, and would’ve made for a veeery good beer if not for the weak body.
