Chestnut brown and decorated with a beige head, our winter beer invites you to spend a cozy evening by the fire.

If you close your eyes, you can literally hear the crackling of the fire and perceive the subtle aroma of smoke and bacon. Berry-like notes of dried fruit tickle the nose and conceal the malty body with its aromas reminiscent of honey and caramel.

The ale mousses in the first sip and a full, hearty body with a slightly caramelly sweetness fills the mouth. An elegant, balanced bitterness lingers pleasantly and paves the way for a true interplay of flavors on the tongue and palate. Fruity, smoky nuances, which are carried by the whiskies matured in sherry and bourbon casks, remain for a long time.

The smoky aroma comes from the addition of a smoky Scottish Isle whisky. Just 1% of this whisky is enough to give the beer that certain something.

Why "infused" and not "barrel aged"? We are often asked this question.

As winemakers, it would certainly make sense for us to mature our beer in a wooden barrel. However, the fact is that beer in a wooden barrel would come into contact with oxygen and oxidation would occur. The beer does not mature in the barrel, but is aged. We do not like these oxidative sherry notes and prefer to infuse the beer with a noble distillate before bottling. This allows the beer to retain its freshness and Aroma.
