Morbier has a yeasty aroma of raw cashews or peanuts, leafy vegetables, and starchy potato.
Paulaner Okto has a similar yeasty vegetable character.
Salty raw nut flavor contrasts with sweet carmel malts. Vegetable character of cheese is blunted, with the creamy butter brought to the front along with a hint of smoke. The raw nut taste that dominates stays on tongue even after beer is drank, the toasty malt matches but does not overpower delicate bitter earthiness. A subtly sweet malty beer contrasted with a subtly nutty/leafy cheese. A lighter combination fitting for the fall season.
5/10
