Hazy golden amber color. Aromas of leather, hazelnut creme, pencil shavings, baked rustic bread, hoisin, porcini mushroom, and ammoniated cheese with a round, vibrant, effervescent, dryish medium body and a warming, layered, medium-long mirepoix, bouquet garni, and yams finish. A savory, herbal Bière de Garde that will shine at the table.
