Aroma of slightly roasted malt, caramel, nuts, spicy notes, hint of coffee. Flavour is sweet with a light bitter finish. Too sweet, but a decent beer.

Bottle. Deep dark brown color, little chunks of yeast. Roasted malt in the aroma. Malty, roasty flavor with vanilla and pear. Soft creamy, roasty bitter aftertaste. Very pleasant beer.

Bouteille 33cl @ Niamey craft beer tasting, merci Benoit. Dorée, qcq sédiments présents, col blanc. Arôme malté cara-pâle/pils, rétro d'esters annonçant une certaine douceur, qcq effluves fruitées houblonnées sur un léger fruité tropical/agrumes mais gardant un caractère très belge/noble. Palais est boozy, caramel, pâle, houblonné fin, fruité/citronné, levure marquée par une douceur latente d'esters.
