Bottle from La Cave à Bulles, Paris
Dark amber color, clean, with small head, short persistence. The first whiff is delicate and vinous, leaving space later to some caramel, candi sugar, oak. The body is slimmer than expected; caramel flavor with very moderate sweetness, the alcohol perception is a bit too much, it has nevertheless an additional dimension given by the wine barrel.
Pleasant, but a bit boozy, not fully satisfying.

Hazy amber color with red hue; medium sized creamy head. Nice aroma, quality hops, but terreux (earthy) and light manure. Lean body, caramel flavor with some toffee, light liquorice that should not be there, strong bitterness with moderate resiny/piney hops. The final is a bit dry. Not bad, but a bit rough, maybe it needs a different yeast.
