Murky, dark brown beer. A seductive head: beige, dense moussy. Half a finger but long sustained. Dark chocolate, light-roasted malt and a sweet coffeeish injection emanate to my nostrils. Not dry but surely not oversweet either. A good balance. Dark chocolate, raw cacao powder, gently toasted coffee beans, light-roasted malt, a bit of cold-brew coffee and as if a touch of crushed nutmeg constitute the gustatory supply. I do agree that the balance here is remarkable. No edges. The body is full. More or less... almost. The aftertaste loses part of the initial although manageable sweetness and gains moderate bitterness instead. The mouthfeel is full, modestly roasty, velvety and creamy. A tasty dessert, no need to brush my teeth because of an overload of sugar. Balanced big time.

Bonne stout bien ronde. Belle bière hivernale !

Houblon très agrume et une bonne pointe de torréfaction, le tout bien arrondi faut l'admettre. BFM ont peut-être enfin trouvé les vertus aphrodisiaques de la mandragore !

Bière blonde artisanale française (brasserie Mélusine à Chambretaud) de style IPA, certifiée biologique, aux arômes de fruits tropicaux.

Agréablement épicée et torrifiée (goût de fève tonka). Bière de Noël réussie !
