Brasserie Dupont Biere de Miel

Aroma: "Heavy honey and mead flavors, leaning more toward floral, herbal, and earthy notes. Lots of pepper spice and a strong thick honey character up front. Some fruity notes—almost berry like. Strawberry?"

Flavor: "The honey flavors are a bit more restrained than the aroma, with the peppery phenol character dominant. Considerable herbal and floral character. The honey notes are present but not overpowering; they add some nice sweetness. Clean and refreshing in the finish. Speaermint carries all the way through, and the spiciness can be felt retronasal and also very floral."

Overall: A tasty beer that showcases the honey well, without losing its beer essence. Refreshing and clean. This beer had a nice body and good flavor, but also had a delicateness about it that I liked. Showcases honey well."
