330ml bottle from a wine shop in Rouen, drunk watching the Milan Winter Olympics 2026. Smoked porter with viking salt apparently. Pours hazed dark, good off-white head. Subtle smoke, very subtle, hints of liquorice.. nice deep malt resonance with a gentle dark toffee undercurrent. Nice.

Tap at L'Antre du Malt. Hazy orange golden. Sweet malts, oats, peach, orange zest, yoghurt, light grassy. Medium sweet, less bitter. Medium bodied. Not horrible, but the yoghurt notes are off putting.

Slow tickers club application here with this one - almost a year since I was in Normandy having this one. Tap pour La Porte Ouvert, Rouen, not too far away from the magnificent Cathedral. Golden with a carbonation and a very small head. Fine regional ale with lots of bubble-gum sweetness in both aroma and taste - and it lingers, but not overdone or overbearing. Clearly strong but not too much impact in taste here.
