Bouteille 75cl achetée à la brasserie en fev 2024, BB 02/2025, lot# 1232.
Ambrée-cuivre, col blanc-cassé crémeux bien tenace.
Arôme est frais malté malgré la date passée de qcq jours, le tout reste solide avec des effluves intéressants sur les malts – grillés, torréfiés avec une pointe de toasté, biscuité le tout ponctué par rétro-nasal fruité noir ainsi qu’une petite note de réglisse. Je retrouve aussi plus d’apport des houblons nobles qu’en bouche.
Palais sur une belle brune Fr voire BE avec un caractère marqué sur les malts dont un grillé-caramélisé tenace. Le tout ponctué par un apport fruité noir/sec tout autant plaisant – effet un peu sur les noisettes.

Bottle at the beerbistro. Hazy caramel pour, with alot of sediment, and a big frothy head. Aroma is very fruity, and yeasty, stone fruit, and pears. Low bitterness, fruity, yeasty finish, a tad too sweet though, lacks crispness and drinkability due to very high carbonation.

From tap at Borefts 2016. Aroma is grainy malt, hay, and mild grassy hops. Flavour is light sweet and above moderate bitter. Body is medium. Smooth and highly drinkable. Just an excellent Keller from this French brewery.
