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.

A beautiful beer, lovely oxidative notes. Lots of barrel oak and some clean cherry notes. LCI

0.375l bottle thanks to Lore. Chestnut body with a thin yolk head and floating sediment. Aroma of sour cherries, candi sugar, wood, chocolate and even some brandy. Taste of chocolate, sour cherry, balsamic vinegar and some brandy. Interesting beer. The balsamic vinegar character is quite unique. I like it.
