A lovely dark ale with a realy malty sweet taste and loads of body.
A sort of Kummel. Home-made. I have been steeping crushed caraway and coriander seed plus maple syrup in rum. It's very very good. I have been feeling rotten and have a high temperature and this is lifting my spirits very well.
I knew I should have gone back to Tesco for the remainder of the "Promenade Des Papes" ~(Plan de Dieu) ... only got two bottles at £4.99 ...
Oh well. To be honest it's a bit full-on for me most of the time - being something of a peasant - I'm mostly very happy with Chenet's cheap and cheerful fruity Merlot ... the one with the out of date cheese offer
