As it warms up, the Kerzu (December in Breton) is adorned with fruity, cherry and black fruit nuances. When we put our lips to it, we necessarily come back to it. A gourmet stout that can be left to age for up to three years to vary the pleasures. It is a complex beer, round, tasty and long in the mouth, with a strong character without being too alcoholic.

33cl Bottle at camping Kost-Ar-Moor. Black with brown tan head. Big sweet roasted near burnt chocolate malt. Licorice, molasses, tobacco, blueberries, rubber, glue, ash. Sweet, with medium bitter counterpart. Full body, low carbonation. Fruity and tobacco hints are nice, that rubber boot finish -- not so much. --- Beer merged from original tick of Kerzu on 18 Dec 2017 at 12:18 - Score: 6. Original review text: 3.3
