Description
Nous concocter la meilleure bière! Founded in 1997 by Jérôme Rebetez, who had formerly been trained as an oenologist, this tiny brewery has rapidly become known for making beers that stretch traditional beer style guidelines and use unorthodox ingredients. BFM's products are made in small batches and hand-packaged at the brewery.

On tap at Ammutsøn, Wien Friday 22nd May 2026. Pours warm gold with a slight haze and a nice white clinging head. Tangy and with a fruity tart edge. The oakiness from the barrel ageing is clearly noted, there is a slight dustiness (but not a negative) a cider or even gueuze tannin dry sour edge. Good. Score:7.5

Hoe dit een barleywine is ontgaat me volledig. Als dit een gueuze was, had ik het ook geloofd. Zuur, stal, blijft goed hangen, tropisch, perzik, grapefruit, verse suikerriet

From one local product shop, at Lausanne. Drinking and judging this bottle, at home, Epalinges. In my point of view, it is a decent and tasteful imperial stout, bottle of 2015, not sour, roasted malt, smooth, note of licorice, coffee, regular hop, 14.07.20

In my point of view, it is an original beer, mix with tea and malt, giving a side a bit hard at the mouth but it is pleasant, next one!!!! 16.12.16, at Prélaz

Bottle shared round Dan and Megan’s. States 2018 on the neck label but this beer definitely doesn’t need more batches adding. Anyway. Hazed copper amber with minimal white head. Past it’s best by some way. Some Flanders style notes left and lots of barrel but I’m guessing this is a shadow of its former self. Nice tick though.
