Big Mama Stout est brassée à partir de 5 sortes de malt d’orge et une partie de malt de seigle en combinaison avec des fleurs de houblon Summit et Willamette. Elle est ensuite infusée à froid avec des houblons américains et du grué de cacao originaire de Madagascar. Notre bière sombre se bonifiera au cours de la première année de garde en développant des arômes délicats de chocolat balancés par une amertume modérée. Nous recommandons de la déguster à température de cave. Accords mets et bières: fèves de cacao enrobées de Laurent Gerbaud.

Bottled 330ml. -from Beergium. Brown coloured, medium sized brownish head, mild caramel in the nose. Sweetish roasted malt, some caramel, notes of milk chocolate and caramel with discreet alcohol presence. Bitterish finish, pretty high carbonation. Quite a disappointment.

750ml bottle. Jet black colour with huge, firm, foamy, half-way lasting, sulphureous-beige head. Chocolately dark malty and earthy fruity, yeasty, minimally dusty aroma, notes of bramble and blueberry, corresponding shrubs, hints of cocoa. Taste is slightly sweet dark malty and yeasty fruity, notes of bramble and blueberry, black cherry, dark chocolate, dry cocoa powder, a touch of cola; prickling carbonation. Relatively light, nice earthy fruitiness.

0.33l bottle. Black body, light beige head. Aroma of caramel, orange, grapes, elderflower and cocoa. Taste of caramel, cocoa, pine, chocolate, grapefruit and grassy hops. It has very limited roasted malt characher, that is quite suprising from a stout. I still like it though.
