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.

Golden color, small but steady white head. Wheaty nose: fruity esters, some banana. Bitter, very hoppy, grassy, alcoholic, not much to do with witbier. Long dry aftertaste. Not as good as other Ellezelloise products.

Red pinky, a bit hazy color, very lively carbonation - like a lemonade, small reddish head. Papery aroma, some wood and light artifical blackcurrant aroma. Very watery, dry with very light blackcurrant flavor, malty flavor dominates. This is maybe natural but very tasteless, even wonder where is that 5.7 % of alcohol.

Tasted at Belgium Comes to Cooperstown, July 16, 2005. Hazy blonde with a thin white head. Very light spiced hopped aroma. Rather uninteresting blonde trippel with light spices, coriander, but nothing special.

(Bottle 75 cl) Clear, dark brown with a handsome beige coloured head. Roasted, slightly burned aroma. Marked malty flavour with some lightly burned flavours - almost has a stout like character if it wasn’t for the Belgian spicing. Very dry finish. 241205

Deep dark stout with a thin lacing moka head. Aroma of coffee, aniseed and coriander. took me a while before I started sipping. Rich chocolate in mouth with nice sustained hops, spicey notes of anis again, and sustained alcohol warmth. Good rich tingly bodied stout. More of an hybrid between a stout and a belgian brown. Yummy. Bottle at Moeder Lambic, April 2005.

Hazy red ruby color, decent off-white head. Sweet berry and malty aroma. Malty, oaky, some bitterness and sugar in finish. Light alcohol in the aftertaste. Yeast here reminds me from some other brew - De Dolle maybe?

33cl bottle from Utobeer. BBE July 05. Hazy copper colour with thin white head, sediment in suspension. Spicey brown sugar aroma. Honey, ginger, cinnamon and hops are all in evidence. Good complex flavours but some mustiness too. More brown sugar in mouth with sweetness too, but this doesn’t over run the mouth feel. Dry bitter hop on end, yet brown sugar flavour lives on
