About
Located a few kilometers from Cognac, the Brasserie des Gabariers asserts its belonging to the Charentais terroir by making quality craft beers, made from the best ingredients. The Brasserie des Gabariers takes its name from the ‘Gabares’; flat-bottomed boats that were historically used to sail grain alcohol and other wares up and down the Charente river. By then a family-owned affair, in 2016 the brewery was transplanted onto a winery dating back all the way to 1869, in the picturesque town of Plaizac. There, it would develop its range of top-tier craft beer, including a patented recipe based on Cognac.

Atlantic Dorée from Brasserie des Gabariers

5.3/10 — Appearance 4 Aroma 6 Flavor 5 Texture 4 Overall 6
Bouteille 33cl au Niamey craft beer tasting club, merci Ludo. Une dorée virant plus sur un léger ambré, col fin beige. Arôme oscillant vers un fruité noir et rouge, malt léger sur ambre, carapâle, léger pils. Houblonné assez noble. Palais axé sur un caractère fruité rouge, un malté plus proche d'une bière ambre que dorée. Petite douceur marquée en fin de bouche relevée par une pointe d'amertume pils. Très moyen, un peu brouillon par rapport à ce qui se fait pour le moment en France.

XO Beer Cognac 5.5% from Brasserie des Gabariers

6/10 — Appearance 6 Aroma 6 Flavor 6 Texture 6 Overall 6
Bière 33 cl trouvée dans une boutique de spécialités locales à Cognac. Au nez, cognac, sucre, melon confit. Nez assez alléchant mais on détecte un côté trop sucré, artificiel. Bonne carbonatation. Goût pas très subtil, retour sur le miel, bière peu soyeuse, qui manque de corps. Le côté miel, sucre, prend le dessus sur le cognac, le tout fait un peu "cheap". Pas mauvais mais sans subtilité, ca fait un peu bière pour touristes.
