Established in 1996
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.

Bottled at Horsens Beerfestival. Unclear, orange-golden beer with an off-white head. Sweetness, spices, wheat and notes of alcohol in the aroma. The flavor has spices, alcohol and wheat. Fullbodied and sweet mouthfeel. The finish has alcohol, spices and sugar. A quite straight-forward beer, but it’s nice. /061028)

Bottle, 6.2%. 2 years past BB date. Nasty metal aroma. Cloudy golden colour. Frothy white head. The flavour is better than the aroma, but nothing special. Yeasty with some OK esters. A bit acidic. OK mouthfeel and slight metallic aftertaste. Drinkable, but hopefully better fresh.

Bottled. Hazy nutbrown colour with sediments floating around. Big white creamy head, which leaves lacing. Strong alcohol and sour apple in aroma. Almost like vodka mixed with sour applejuice. Flavour almost the same, but the yeast in it smoothens the sweet alcohol out a bit. Warming alcohol alone in finish though. Aftertaste becomes more to the sour appleish. Also some spices as it gets a bit warmer. Quite nicely balanced as for the flavour, but the aroma is not the best in my opinion.

Bottled. Dark brown colour, huge brown creamy head. Roasted malts in aroma, along with burnt sugar and hops. Lovely nose. Flavour is roasted malts, along with coffee and some caramel. Hops along with redwineish notes in finish and aftertaste. Also coffee stays long. Pleasant palate, quite creamyish. Definitively my favourite of the Bon Secours. Alcohol is quite wellhidden, but gives a slight warming touch to the beer.

Bottle. Cloudy red colour. Raspberry aroma. The flavour is very dry for a fruit beer, but has berry flavour. Peppery, teaish aftertaste.

Bottled. Hazy pale golden colour with huge creamy white head. Alcohol, chemicals and fruits in aroma. Flavour is yeasty, fruity and some alcohol. Without the bottom yeasts it was full of alcohol, so the yeast takes the biting alcohol away a bit. Quite similar to the other Bon Secours rated so far.

(Bottle 33 cl) Caulier version. Pours a dark and fairly clear reddish brown with a handsome, beige head leaving a gorgeous lacework as it dissipates. Extremely complex aroma of dried fruit, brown sugar and oak. Surprisingly (no mention of the 10% on the bottle) only a medium body dominated by roasted malt and dried fruit and then an extreme sweetness from the added sugar. Appears almost like a sweet vintage port. No bitterness at all. Some will be put off by the extreme sweetness finding this unbalanced. And they may very well be right. But I find this to be one helluva pleasant sipping beer. 010806

Bottled. Hazy golden/orangeish colour, huge creamy white, very firm head. Aroma is alcoholic, spicy and a bit skunky. Flavour contains malts, pepper and some alcohol. Very peppery aftertaste. The alcohol is quite wellhidden, so I don’t agree with Miksu on the "sharp alcohol" in the beginning.
