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.

Light, but continuous gushing to huge dark-beige head, stable over deep brown to black beer. Yeast all in suspension. Roasted, woody, slightly meaty notes, roasted nuts, sweetish, but rounded-off by aromatic, fruity hops. Fruity hops return in the mouth, with aromatic notes of citrus and peach. Bit sweet initially, but gradually the roasted bitterness mounts, culminating in an outspoken dry-roasted finish. Medium bodied at best, grist-filled, dry aftertaste. Decent, well-hopped stout.

75cl bottle @ 7th Arch’en Bières 2011, thanks Manu for the share. A nice Belgian stout with an American twist, memories of Manu’s time living in DC. Couleur noir, mousse épaisse moka. Arôme est subtile et retient un profile belge tout en mariant les notes américaines d’un malt chocolat, grillé et torréfié qui laisse s’échapper un peu d’amertume. En bouche, bière au profile malt prononcé, donc le mélange de différents malts allant d’un chocolat noir amer (qui reste léger) a de belles notes grillées et torréfiées. En arrière-goût, une pointe de café et un peu de réglisse. Palais est sec et poudreux allant sur une note de feuille de tabac le tout conservant une approche belge de par la levure. Une stout qui mérite ce score et qui reste dans le style, légère mais pleine de saveurs, qui allie à la fois un savoir belge tout en ayant un petit clin d’œil aux US. Un régal surtout à 6.24%
