Contract-brewed for the Italian importer/distributor Zago s.r.l., who also imports Westmalle into Italy (http://www.zago.it). From their website:
The HY-Cuvée is a beer a high fermentation, natural fermentation in bottle, made with the Méthode Champenoise. Is a cuvée of pure barley malt, unpasteurized, handmade according to an ancient recipe lilting over the phases of the moon. Amber colour, looks a little veiled, imperceptible, fine perlage, the cream is thick and dense. Its body is balanced, harmonious, well structured. Scents of vanilla, caramel, liquorice, ripe plum and oak. In mouth hints of roasted chestnut, ripe banana, raisins, dates, feeling of evaporation of rum and light tones of Juniper, a hint of coffee, with a vast wealth and a very long persistence. Goes well with fish and smoked meats, cheeses, game, braised meat, dry deserts or Marzipan, chocolate. Contains gluten

750ml bottle, vintage 2009, shared with friends at Pressklubben in Stockholm. Clear mahogany coloured body with a dark reddish shade. Spotty lacing from a low, beige head. Dried fruity aroma alongside hints of dough and caramel. Taste like a fruit cake with moments of raisin, prunes, caramel and bread. Prolonged finish. Warming, well bodied and smooth in the mouth. Fine partner to our chocolate mousse (24.11.2016).
