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.

Bottle from AndrewC who picked this up in or near Verbier and I drank at home. Very dark brown colour lasting beige head. Some esters on aroma, some dark brown malty aroma. Quite fruity in the mouth, like plums and figs. Decent Belgian Ale. Pretty authentic. Nice enough. Some peppery hop on the finish. OK.

Bottle from Embrouille - thank you so much! Opens with a deafening plop and pours hazy very dark amber with stable beige head. Clear aroma of malt, caramel, cinnamon and fruit. Sweet, malty and fruity flavour, with notes of cloves and cinnamon. Discernible but unobtrusive alcohol presence. Sweetish, fruity finish, with bitter notes of alcohol. Well-balanced and agreeable. Very nice.

Aroma of Belgian yeast, brown sugar and prunes. Molasses flavour with spicy cloves and orange peal. Finishes with dry grain, spice and pine needles.

Bottle at home. The beer is clear with a deep reddish brown color and is topped with a light beige, medium head. The beer has an aroma of dried fruit, Belgian yeast, oak, leather, licorice and a little alcohol, woods and spices reminiscent of nutmeg. A highly interesting aroma. The taste is different, but with more sweet and compact. In addition, the taste of chocolate and roasted malt. Mouth feel is smooth and has a light to medium bitterness. A really complex and tasty beer.
