Tarasque

◎ Appearance

Pale golden in color with excellent clarity and a thin, delicate head that disperses to a fine ring of lacing. The carbonation is refined and persistent, producing a gentle chain of bubbles that sustains throughout the glass.

◌ Aroma

The nose leads with pronounced oak and vanilla from two years of barrel aging, grounded by subtle leather and hay notes that speak to the extended fermentation. White pepper and lemon peel emerge underneath, lifted by a faint herbal quality that keeps the wood from overwhelming.

◐ Taste

Entry is crisp and dry with a light malt backbone supporting bright lemon and white pepper notes. The mid-palate reveals the barrel's influence—oak and vanilla develop alongside a gentle tannic grip and a rising acidity that builds toward a drying finish without harshness.

◑ Finish

The close is long, dry and woody with a persistent sour edge that lingers on the palate. A whisper of white pepper and oak remains as the beer fades.
