The darkest Lienne, with a very deep burgundy colour, as good as black, under a thick, frothy, lacing, pale beige head. Aroma very caramelly, in a ’dry’ kind of way, iron but not too disturbing, coffee grounds, raisins, leather, bayleaf and, alas, a faint hint of DMS (cooked cabbage). Dried fruits in the mouth, with only a faint suggestion of raisin sweetness, but not actually becoming sweet anywhere; dryness continues in the middle, with a fairly deep caramelly and nutty maltiness, touch of bitter chocolate, some roasted bitterness but not really coffee-like (unfortunately!), sourish touch and herbal hop bitterishness. Quite enjoyable, doubting a bit between a dry stout and a porter, but like Lienne Brune, it could be better with more body and more ’boldness’ in the roasted department, I think.
