FORESTA is a Scottish brown ale with a velvety texture. On the nose and palate, caramelized malt notes mingle with those contributed by coriander and an infusion of oyster mushrooms. Matured on toasted French oak.
A nose with slightly smoky, earthy and caramelized aromas, enhanced with vegetal notes.
We are in a complex and different universe! Already, the texture of the beer is rather light for this style. Multiple flavors come together in a beautiful balance (caramel, mushrooms, toasted cereals and a smoky taste).
The noticeable woody character complements the earthy and vegetal side of the beer remarkably well.
It’s unique as can be. There is no doubt, the MonsRegius brewer is truly an alchemist of flavors…!
Although I enjoyed drinking it in the evening, I think it could reach its full potential in a food pairing.
The bottle recommends:
- Smoked salmon
- Game
- Strong cheeses
- Cream and fruit desserts
- Creme brulee
All this makes me hungry… 😉
