Sampled at Belgian Beer Fest - quite a golden colored biere de guarde, making me expect a more hoppy, pilsner-like flavor, as is often the case with the lighter ones - perhaps the cognac barrels softened them, but there were hardly any hops here - slightly sweet, and quite mild, with medium to light body - the cognac comes through quite a lot, but doesn’t overpower the light spiciness, and hint of light fruit (grapes mostly) - quite interesting, but their other offerings were better.
