Description
In 1933 Charles Caulier, a miner, left his job and decided to set up as a beer reseller in Bonsecours, a small village in the south of Belgium. In 1980, Roger and Linda Caulier took over the family business and continued progressing.
The warehouses soon became too cramped so they took over the buildings of a former tannery in Péruwelz. The products of the Brewery are still brewed in these buildings today.

In the early 1990s, Roger and Linda decided to market their own beer: a custom-made high fermentation blonde. The Bon Secours was born! These were promising beginnings but they still dreamt of creating their own brewery. A dream which became reality when they bought the machinery from the Deneve brewery in Schepdaal and inaugurated the first brew in 1996!

In 2007, the NV Brasserie Caulier was declared bankrupt. At the beginning of 2008, the activities were transferred to a private limited company of the sons of Roger Caulier, who subsequently adopted the name Brasserie et Distillerie Caulier. As of 2012, Laurent, Bertrand and Vincent joined their parents in the adventure. In order to respond to the growing demand for its products, in 2018 the Brewery began a large multi-annual programme of investments with the goal of tripling its production capacity. The historical Brewing House has been extended, new fermentation and storage tanks have been added, and the bottling line has been modernised.

Bottle. A hazy, dark amber beer that is topped by a small, creamy beige head. Slightly off it seems, with a little sourish touch and some solvent. Malty base. Sweet flavor with some caramel, dried fruits and a hint of anise or licorice. Spiced. The flavor is sweet and spiced. Full-bodied and pleasantly carbonated. Still sort of decent, even though it has some flaws. 090720

bottle, traded with Kölschtriker or DerDoppelbock, I forgot to make a note of it. Thank you anyway. Hazy brown colour with a large off-white head. Fruity-malty nose with hints of caramel. Full-bodied, intensive malty flavours dominate and are combined with delicious chocolate flavours and hints of caramel and raisins, perhaps some wild berry flavour. Lingering finish.

bottle, traded with Kölschtriker or DerDoppelbock, I forgot to make a note of it. Thank you anyway. Hazy golden colour with an amber glow, large off-white head. Aroma of (very) sweaty feet and some sourness. Oh dear. This one smelled as if it had turned sour, but not!The beer itself was ok. Full-bodied, very malty with nice flavours of roasted malts, caramel and toffee with a shy touch of fruit. Lingering finish, where a hoppy touch tunes in. I think I’ve never had a beer with such a discrepany between aroma and flavour. I nearly poured it into the drain because of its awful nose.
