Choulette Ambrée is the result of a rigorous selection of special aromatic malts which give it a good caramel taste. Red, with coppery reflections, dense ivory foam, this beer exudes an aroma rich in notes of prune.

Classic bière de garde from Valenciennes, with pale beige, mousse-like, perfectly regular, sticky head and deep, warm amber colour with pinkish hue, lively sparkling with tiny yeast particles floating everywhere. Aroma of walnuts, caramel, apple peel, nutmeg, earth, dried leaves, aniseed, cherry liqueur, sherry. Sweet fruity taste, hint of apple cider, strong carbonation, rounded and smooth mouthfeel, caramelly and nutty malts, spicy yeast, leafy and earthy hop bitterishness in the end where some of the initial sweetness also remains, some warming alcohol too. Excellent example of its style and one of the best French beers I’ve had so far.

Pours a dark amber, almost brown colour, with a fluffy head. A rich aroma of spice, dark fruit, coffee. Satisfying taste, lots of malts with a bit of bitterness, but nicely balanced. Pretty good overall.

Clear orange golden colour, white head. Metallic aroma, iron, malts. Malty flavour with iron. Light spicy finish, iron, metal, light malts.
Too bad of the iron, otherwise it might’ve been a really nice beer.

Bouteille 330ml, courtoisie d’un contact de Victoria, BC. De couleur ambrée et voilée. Nez de grains de malt sucrés aux notes terreuses et rôties, léger de fruits (pommes, notes de cerises, de dates et d’abricots) et avec des notes de pain, de caramel, d’alcool et de houblon herbeux. Moyennement ronde en bouche et moyennement pétillante avec une texture légèrement huileuse. Goût de levures fruitées sucrées et très légèrement sûres (cerises douces, léger de raisins et d’abricots, notes de dates) lors de l’entrée en bouche suivi d’un goût de grains de malt sucrés aux notes rôties, moyen de pain et de caramel bonbon ainsi qu’avec des traces de vanille puis en finale l’on retrouve une légère amertume de houblon plutôt floral avec des notes d’alcool doux et de faibles traces poivrées. Post-goût moyen-long, légèrement amer de houblon floral avec des notes d’alcool très doux ainsi qu’avec un léger goût fruité (agrumes, pelures d’abricots, moût de cerises) et de petites traces rôties.
