L'Espiègle
Micro-brasserie Saint-Arnould

A - Nice murky red colour with minimal carbonation.

S - Some good malts and dark fruit with a touch of sourness makes this an interesting aroma.

T - Mild dark fruits with more sourness to compliment and a good malty backbone.

M - Mild carbonation, goes down smooth.

D - Nice and high on this. A well crafted beer that's easy to drink and quite complex.

Bottle: Poured a clear dark brown color ale with a large foamy head with good retention and not much lacing. Aroma of rye malt with light residual sweetness is quite enjoyable. Taste is also dominated by rye malt with some light buckwheat notes and some balanced sweetness. Body is about average but has a creamy texture which is enjoyable with good carbonation. I must admit that this beer was better then anticipated.

This is a buckwheat and rye red ale from the brewer's special reserve. Sold 3,99$ at Grand Duc for a 341ml brown bottle.

It shows a bright reddish-brown colour. Thin beige head, medium retention. It has a great spices notes, some weizen beer yeast notes, bananas, clove, some nose are trully from the buckwheat grain, some black peppercorn has well, I love the smell. This beer is very spicy in the mouth, some black pepper, good mouthfeel, very drinkable the alcohol is not present despicte it's 7,5% alc/vol.
