Bière Ambrée Au Sarrazin Breton
Brasserie Celtique Du Pen Roc

Apparently brewed by the Brasserie Brunehaut in Belgium. The label only states that the beer is distributed by the brasserie celtique.

Lasting velvety head, smooth and creamy on a hazy orange/nut brown color body. It’s a black wheat ale, but the black wheat aspect was weaker than expected in the smell. A bit nutty, showing also winy notes of Porto, and a hint of fresh citrus. Maybe some branch smell, with notes of chocolate. The taste too is very different from the Brittany’s black wheat ales I’ve had. The start is citric and very fruity, with enjoyable sweet notes of red fruits, say strawberry. Almost a bit of tart in there. The taste then goes through a phase that’s more in accordance with the usual black wheat taste, a bit drier than the start. The finish gets surprisingly – yet nicely – chocolaty, with a deep and profound dark chocolate bitterness that conquers the palate. Mouthfeel may be the highlight of this beer, rich and smooth, creamy and round, yet also drier at some points and thicker in the finish. A nice amber ale, with sometimes somehow surprising features that stimulate the palate but may reduce the brew’s overall drinkability. This would be a great pairing with some black wheat crepes, for sure.
