Description
Independent and family-run since 1900, the Warenghem distillery is located in Lannion on the north coast of Brittany.

In 2001 is the introduction of brewing and commercialisation facilities for Bier Breizh (Breton beer). Inspired by the distillery's technical know-how, Gilles Leizour expands the distillery's brewing facilities to produce beer. Bier Breizh is launched shortly afterwards, subsequently renamed Diwall.

Bottle. Amber colour, small off-white head. Aroma is caramel, some grass, herbs and mild ripe fruits with some toffee too. Flavour is grass, some herbal, mild ripe fruity and toffeeish tones with mild earthy elements. Not that much smoke nor whisky to it. Very mediocre.

Bottled 330ml (in France)
A bit gushing bottle. Golden color, medium-sized white head. Wet wood, sweetness and light smoke in the nose. Light to medium-bodied. Sweetish malty, grass, riped fruits, light smokeyness. Quite simple and unbalanced smoked beer.

33cl Bottle from erickok, thanks Eric! Clear deep amber colour, off-white head. Aroma of peach, light-smoked malts, hint of peat, quite sweet. Flavour is sweet, malty, peach, light-peated malts, toast, something salty, sweet finish. Light-bodied. An Adelscott clone imo, a tad too sweet.

33cl Bottle from erickok, thanks Eric! Pale yellow colour, white head. Aroma of swamp, skunk, hint of the promised smoke, grainy sourness. Flavour is a lot better, quite dry, light floral, light peated malts, pale malts, hay, light yeasty, peaty light sweet finish with some bitterness. Quite watery, but OK. Expected worse.

Although I might argue that this is a smoked beer, the elements of aroma and taste are sort of smoky, but more peat bog. Notes of dried fruit, wood chips, cigars, whiskey. Palate is dry and lingering. This is a unique animal and worth seeking out.
