Description: Soft vanilla notes hit the nose first and unleash a wave of fruity and spicy aromas that blow the taster away. A sublime hint of orange gives the beer a pleasant citrus accent as the perfect match for the sweet caramel. There is also room for a floral undertone with camomile, crowned by a subtle touch of pomegranate and a dash of almond liqueur. A brilliant combination of delicious apricot and candied fruit with creamy mocha epitomises the full-bodied complexity of the beer. The aftertaste also packs a delicious punch, with an astounding spicy kick and a refreshing taste of green apple. This balance between roundness and powerfulness is best appreciated between 6 months and 1 year after it is bottled. For this batch, a mixture of barrels has been used. 40% of French oak 60% of American oak Produced in limited amounts using craft-brewing methods. The sophisticated bouquet is perfectly showcased when served at a temperature of between 10 and 12°C.
