Description
La Brasserie des Géants a été créée en 1997 par deux ingénieurs, Pierre et Vinciane Delcoigne, au Castel d’Irchonwelz, datant du douzième siècle. Le premier brassin a été mis en vente en 2000.
La Brasserie Ellezelloise a été fondée par Philippe Gérard en 1993 et produit la gamme Quitine et Hercule. La salle de brassage y permet deux à trois brassins de 15 hl par jour.
Née du mariage en 2006 de la Brasserie des Géants et de la Brasserie Ellezelloise, la Brasserie des Légendes s’inspire du folklore riche de nos régions: la Ducasse d’Ath avec son cortège des Géants et le Sabbat des Sorcières d’Ellezelles.
Puis en 2019, la Brasserie des Légendes reprend les activités de la Distillerie de Biercée.

Bottled. Dark brown/black colour, big brown head. Aroma is roasted malts and some "fruityness". Hides ABV very well in both aroma and flavour. Chocolate, old dark coffee, ashes and hops in flavour. Still very pleasant. Full bodied and palated, Extremely welldone. Roasted malts in aftertaste.

On tap at Oud Arsenaal, Antwerp. Cloudy dirty orange gold colour with lasting white head. Creamy hop aroma, burst of hop dancing over cream in mouth. Bittter hop finish. Quite an interesting beer, some spice. Quite sharp. An edgy beer which I rather liked

Purplish hue. Cassis aroma is surprisingly lacking in sugars. Soft body. Fairly sweet flavour with hints of blackcurrant. Not horrible but rather plain.

Bottled. Hazily deep red, small pink head. Light black currant aroma. Sweetish with some papery malt and juicy black currant flavour. Kind of...just not interesting. Tastes like cheap ice cream.

Bottled (5,9%). Hazy yellow colour, big white bubblyish foamy head. Aroma of sour apples and yeast along with hints of spices. Very tempting aroma. Flavour is yeast and spices, and quite dissappointing when compared to the promising aroma. Sour apples can also be found in flavour. Aftertaste is mainly yeast. Really a witbier?
