Found in an Ed store in Paris as a "Biere Brune", sure looks like the same stuff according to descriptions. Pours dark amber with okay head. Aroma is barley and wet malt, some caramel, all very weak. Taste is a mix of chocolate and boot leather, a foul mix - kind of like eating a steak covered in chocolate and nitrate preservatives. Just foul.

Top shelf at a Paris supermarché this time, maybe it was misplaced... usually you find this one in giant boxes of bottles for about five Euros. Pours with decent head, light yellow colour. Aroma is rotting cardboard and alcohol. Taste is bitter syrup with a dry finish, a lot like sucking on a plank of wood (not that I’ve tried that, mind you). Really hard to drink, just too syrupy and bitter.
