Exproprié, 9%

Moulin 7

Brown beer with Belgian influence, the expropriated will bring you aromas of toasted bread but also of candied and dried fruits. With a beautiful roundness, the beer will appeal in the company of the texture of the mollusc and the chorizo, while bringing additional flavors to the tomato. Its candied fruit notes will bring a little more to the recipe for more complex flavors! See the product
