Rerate 2016 : Draft @ ML Fontainas, 3ième fête de la St Jean, shared with Rlgk and _Angst_. Brune foncée, col épais brun café. Arôme est parfait, malté, grillé plein de notes de grillé, malt concassé. Palais est superbe, grillé à souhait avec une impression de barrique peut-être l’effet de l’érable? Petite amertume en fin de bouche, et léger houblonné citronné. Original rate 8.29.2010 7/3/7/4/15 4oz sample @ Churchkey, DC. dark brown, tan head. dark fruits and caramel malts, light roast dry palate with a load of toffee/caramel, some chocolate malts with a lingering sweetness with a touch of hop bitterness. Found it to be a tad weak for an imp. stout. leaving a thin body.

4oz sample @ Churchkey, DC. burgundy color, off-white aroma, sweet caramel notes, malty and fruity with some estery yeast. flavors, woot woot, another full on flavored beer, dark fruits,; fig, dates, caramel malts hinting at some toffee elements. As it warms up, the beer develops a lot more sweeter dark fruity approach along with a more pronounced caramel-toffee palate, really showing it’s abv. Enjoying this brewery a lot, the Weizengrip is just a perfect crafting of Weizen style into original tasty beers.
