Dieu du Ciel!

Extra Special Bitter of English influence, this beer will bring light caramel and toasted cereal notes that will match the grilled chicken flavours. These slightly herbal notes will support the spices used in the recipe. The light bitterness of the beer will offset the spiciness of the dish. Open it before serving to let it degas slightly and warm up, the carbon dioxide bubbles and freshness will accentuate the spiciness of the dish! See the product
