bottle at le cheval blanc.
Dark brown pour, thin beige head.
Aroma of dark fruity malts, and some light citrus. Quite complex. The oak comes through in droves once it warms. It actually kinda takes away from the light citrus. Nice beer, but might be a little complex for its own good, and the oak really takes from some of the subtle nuances.

Tart, yeasty malt aroma hints at dried fruit and wet funk. Tangy dark malt flavors. Notes of black currants, figs, caramel, oak, plums and wine vinegar. Mildly tart, but very drinkable.
