Description
Je m'appelle Emanuele Corazzini et j'ai créé NovaBirra en 2008. Passionné de bières artisanales, je suis allé à la rencontre des brasseurs audacieux et innovants de nos régions. C'est à leur contact qu'est née l'idée de proposer des cours de brassage afin de partager mes connaissances de la bière. Au fil des années, j'ai pu faire découvrir notre patrimoine brassicole à de nombreux enthousiastes. Et pour certains, NovaBirra a aidé à la réalisation de leur rêve: créer et commercialiser leur propre bière!

Depuis 2011, je brasse mes propres bières: Big Mama Stout, Big Nose Triple, Holy IPA et Seed of the New Grace.

Je soutiens également des projets de personnes ayant suivis mes cours de brassage.

On tap at The Bottle Shop London. Amber colour thin white head. Some tripel elements some fruit some sweetness but oddly watery. Some biting hop finish. Hmm. Not my idea of a tripel. OK but needs more intense flavours. Warming alcohol.

Bottle @ Willems, Grobbendonk. Pours golden amber with a creamy white head. Sweet nose and flavor of nuts, toffee, peach and grass. Full bodied. Warmth. Sippable although far from mind blowing.

Bottle sample at a tasting at Max’s place. Thanks Tom L. Cloudy golden. Aroma of fruity esters and a bit of spiciness. Sweetish fruity flavor, mildly spicy, with a bitterish hops finish, slightly citric. Medium-bodied.

0,75 shared by mmahut at Bratislava RB Tasting, big thanks. black color, small off-white head. Smells caramel, light currant notes, plums. Limited smell. Full body, soft carbonation, slick mouthfeel. Tastes plums, caramel, some sweet hops, herbs. Finishes with plums, some sweetness and sweet Pines. Nice beer but nothing stout related at all (no roast, too sweet, no spices, coffee , etc)

750 ml bottle shared by Mmahut at Bratislava Tasting, thanks!
Dark brown body, with a medium, creamy, dark beige head.
Aroma of dark chocolate, cocoa, dark and dried fruits, some vanilla, some alcohol.
Tastes of dark chocolate, coffee, cocoa, caramel, citric hops from the background.
Medium, creamy mouthfeel, with a quite lively carbonation.
Finishes medium alcohol warming, roasty, bitter, zesty, quite dry.

Nice one. Lots of dark malts, but also lots of hops. Not so much roastiness for a Stout though. Overall enjoyable, but nothing outstanding.

Bottle at a tasting. Really an American Stout. Dry and thin bodied, assertively hopped, lots of grassy vegetal notes. Also noticeable lack of hard roasted malts. Not bad, bud not the best either.

Flaska från Beergium. En snygg modern trippel med fin fruktighet från humlen ihop med en annars ganska klassisk välgjord trippel. Lätt oljig, måttlig men tydlig beska, apelsinskal, friska men söta äpplen med viss skalbeska, tropisk frukt, honung, blommig och lätt kryddig belgisk jäst. Riktigt gott.

Draught. Light hazy deep amber liquid with medium off-white head. Aroma of bread, raw sugar, light raisins, husks, grain and light fruit. Taste is light to medium sweet and light bitter with notes of caramel, raw sugar and light alcohol. Medium bodied with medium to high carbonation. All right.
