Bought a 'craft' sized bottle from a local foods shop in Grenoble, they also had the 'Ambrée', 'Blonde', and other beers from this brewery.
Smell: Slight caramel, freshly ground coffee, seltzer water and minerals
Look: Dark and chocolatey, closer to black, in line with the bottle art (a weasel holding a lit match in the dark). Head retention was mediocre for an oatmeal stout but the head that initially form was like freshly fermenting dough, vigorous.
Taste: Dark burnt caramel with that simple oaty graniness, no overpowering hop presence, it's all dark roasted malt here to play.
Feel: Thin on the body, which is surprising for an oatmeal stout but the roast character certainly is true to style, giving a slight roasted malt acidity that piques the tongue. Carbonation also pricks the tongue, no solid hop prickle.
Overall a solid interpretation of a craft beer staple, I'd love to try the rest of Brasserie La Bellete's beers, but I was in Grenoble for only a little time over Christmas.
