Palais est malté, note brulée - caramélisée, biscuité avec un petit côté fruité noir. Légèrement poussiéreuse, malt cara et pointe chocolatée. Sucre résiduel avec un houblonné ajoutant une amertume discrète et noble oscillant sur l’herbacé et un citronnée léger.

Bottle: Poured a dark brown color ale with a medium size foamy head with OK retention. Aroma of sweet caramelized malt is sublime with some complex ester (banana and other sweet fruits) as well as some lightly floral hops. Taste is very potent with a complex mix of fruity ester and banana bread with a rightly balanced sweet caramelized malt body and lightly floral hops at the end. Very nice discovery from a brewer I didn’t know existed.
