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.

Bottle at home in London. Pours black-brown with a big, beige foam head. Lots of ashy roast on the nose, baking cocoa. Light to medium sweet flavor, plenty of burnt malts, a bit of earth, baking cocoa, alcohol. Light to medium bodied with fine, creamy carbonation. Fairly bitter to finish, lots of baking cocoa, burnt malts, burnt grass, earth, light warmth, burnt sugars. Overall it seems a little thin. There is some interesting character, but the depth of flavor is a little shallow and the bitterness seems a bit out of balance. OK.

Bottled 330ml. -from La Cave à Bulles, Paris. Pitch black coloured, medium sized dark brown head, coffee in the nose. Roasted malt, dry coffee and dark chocolate with bitter roasty finish. Slightly oily. Simple but very nice and enjoyable French stout.
