Cuvée Alex Le Rouge
Black, intense and complex: roasted, fruity, sweet and bitter, with licorice, Bourbon vanilla, Sarawak pepper, dry-hop notes and roasted notes. A dense café-au-lait foam crowns the ebony pour. The palate is powerful and creamy, slightly tart for balance, and the finish carries a long, subtle bitterness. An imperial stout at 10.3% from BFM in the Swiss Jura.
