33 cL bottle. Pours deep hazzlenut brown with an amber glare and clear. Dense chocolate brown head. Chocolate and mild fruity aroma. Flavour is mild and with chocolate initially. Sharp hoppy and roasted malt flavour following. Smoothens slowly out with a nice dense malt and chocolate flavour. Ends a bit herbal in the finish.

Bottle (purchased at the brasserie): Clear, deep brownish amber coloured with a smaller, quite persistent off-white head, toasted to roast-malty nose with hints of chocolate; moderate sweet-bitter flavour, medium bodied; fruity-malty finish with a light hoppiness in the aftertaste. Good, well rounded brew...........

Bottle, thanks pivnizub! Roasted metallic chocolate and plum nose. Burgundy with a off-white creamy thin layer. Rich fruity and berrylike start, wooden oaky rounding with a few iron nails, herbal hop finish. Fullbodied, yet a bit thin on the palate, slightly sparkly mouthfeel.. Dry metallic and woden aftertaste.
