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.

Black color with medium sized compact head. It has a nice perfume initially, hints of chocolate and smoke, black pepper; then some acidity. Smooth mouthfeel, nice roasted malt flavor, good dark chocolate, quite dry, with notes of wood oven baked bread; correct bitterness.
Balanced; very well brewed.

Wonderful dark beer, mainly like a Belgian abbey ale, with some roasted malt notes like an English stout, and later of liquorice.

Amber coloured. Very acidic - yes, this is indeed like a Cantillon, some hard-to define fruity/spicy flavours. No bitterness. A highly original beer.

Black w/light brown head; acidity and coffee on the nose; palate is quite sour, which overwhelms the sweet, softly roasted malt underneath. Disappointment from an otherwise fine brewery.

Blonde with a slight haze. Footy yeast and very herbal aroma. Very sagey on the palate. Spritzy, with light pale malt notes. Some herbal bitterness and light wheat notes in the finish.
