Relatively new addition to this range, brewed by an Irishman in the Périgord region in France; 75 cl bottle shared by Craftmember. Egg-white, irregularly lacing, thick and creamy, stable head on a hazy, ruddy-bronze beer with deep caramelly, almost brown core. Aroma of wet toast, caramel, dry tree leaf, rye bread, dried cranberries, rosehip, apple peel, dried field flowers and a very slight whiff of DMS, which fortunately fades quickly. Fruity and crisp onset, lots of lively and minerally carbonation playing through impressions of dried red fruit, apple peel and some fig; supple, rounded, full body, brown-bready core with slick caramelly edges, toasty-bitterish towards the end in a gentle way, becoming ever more dry. A light herbal hop bitterness further aids the malt bitterness but the malts, in all their juiciness and breadiness, even fruitiness in this case, get the last word here. Very balanced, dry and quenching, malt-forward beer, very well done - this may in fact even be the best Irish red I had so far, taking into account that this style is not a very common one, neither industrially, nor in craft beer terms.
