About
Our brewery opened in July 2013. The brewery moved at the beginning of 2018 to the Rue des Lignes in Angoulême, a stone's throw from the railway lines. We are of course continuing to brew our beers and develop our range, but above all a real winery has been created, as well as a Taproom dedicated to the on-site consumption of our beers and a space dedicated to take-out. Equipped with a 50 HL brewhouse and new fermenters, we can more easily offer contract brewing, as well as wort production for spirits.

La Débauche Bière d’Hiver est bien de saison...mais pas en terme de bière. L’impression laissé par cette mixture laisse plutôt penser à un sirop contre la toux, (pouvant être utile par ce froid). Des épices il y en a assurément, mais faut il encore que l’ensemble soit agréable. En verre pourtant rien ne laisser présager un tel désastre, un ambré sombre, tournant vers le brun, paré d’un très léger voile. L’effervescence est cependant peu marquée avec une mousse blanc-crème nappant tout juste la bière. Le nez est par conter surprenant, très herbacé avec une touche fruité et épicé. des arômes de cointreau peuvent par exemple être décelés (présence de zestes d’orange dans la préparation). La dégustation se passe alors péniblement en commençant par une attaque douceâtre sur les herbes médicinales et l’orange. La deuxième bouche laisse entrevoir une amertume peu équilibrée, toujours sur un duo herbes médicinales et orange, avec un sucre trop présent et laissant place rapidement sur un final sur les épices mais surtout sur le plastique et la colle. L’ensemble devient vite écœurant....à ne pas pouvoir en finir son verre! Je ne remercie donc pas la brasserie La Débauche pour cette soirée gâchée! Donc sauf si vous avez mal à la gorge, ne tentez pas l’expérience.

This one foams right up. Amber colour, and quite hazy. The aroma is really phenolic, not good, like cleaner or band-aid. There’s some richer malts underneath of this. Fizzy, which is not good for a barley wine. But the taste is actually not bad - Omani halwa (ok, without the smoke, just the deeply caramelized date sugar), almonds, light spice, and a mellow dark sugar character. There is a bit of an orangey note, some booziness, and again lots of date character. Almost harsh alcohol in the finish.

330mL bottle, pours a deep dark brown with a humungous cascading beige head. Aroma smells like this has been tampered with in some way, with tons of phenols, but somehow still brings out notes of caramel, light cognac, and dark fruits. Flavour is much more complex, with toasted dry caramel, cognac, a little toffee and some brown sugar. Very highly carbonated, but not in too detracting a way. Really nice stuff.

Bottle - Dark toffee and some barrel cognac sweetness. Dark brown with a very active and rich light brown head. Some anise up front, dark toffee and barrel notes come through. Alcohol and booze is in check with a woody and dark finish.
