Bottle @ VBPF’12. Cuivrée, col épais et crémeux avec de nombreux sédiments de levure. Arôme malté grillé, fruité noir et un houblon fruité. En bouche, levure, malt léger caramel, fruits noirs; prune et sucre brun, note de toffee avec un houblon en amertume qui reste persistant et donne des notes de citron, pamplemousse. Le tout reste pour moi très léger.
