This French winter seasonal opens with a subtle earthy nose reminiscent of root vegetables just yanked from the soil combined with the aroma of freshly baked whole grain bread. On the palate malty flavors roll back and forth with the lapping consistency of waves in an oceanside tidal pool. Balancing out the ales roasted malty bitterness is a spiced fruit salad of tart acidic pops. Table this with hearty meat and potato meals for full satisfaction.
