Popular brown 'ale' from France, at some restaurant in the Périgord region, apparently never had this one before. Medium thick, pale greyish white, moussy, diminishing head on a clear, ruddy bronze-mahogany, translucent beer. Aroma of lots of caramel candy, caramel syrup, dried dates, iron, hazelnut shells, soggy cereals, some plastic. Starts sweet, but non-fruity, lots of added sweet caramel syrup, fizzy carb, smooth mouthfeel, caramelly, thinnish and bit metallic middle, lingering caramel sweetness and just a dash of bitterishness, tad toasty, but plastic-like too. Like Leffe Brune, this is more than likely a caramel-coloured and -sweetened strong lager - very simple, industrial and sweet, one to please the ignorant masses.

Can at home from my sister-in-law. A rich caramel colour in the glass and a strong aroma of the stuff on the nose immediately put me on warning. As feared, the taste was all sweet caramel combined with alcohol and wasn't pleasant at all. The ingredient list proudly included the dreaded ingredient. I persevered, but gave up half way through and poured the rest away.

Bottle from G20 Supermarches, Paris, and shared at Dan’s. Pours mid brown with a small off-white head. Aroma is heavily malted, with light chocolate and nut. Medium to heavy sweetness, light malty bitterness. Medium body, slight sticky texture, soft carbonation.
