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.

Hazy orange, big foamy head, lace. Fruity (honey, apricot) and malty aroma with some yeasty notes. Delcious sweet yeasty, quite alcoholic with some hops under malty base. Long hoppy and alcholic aftertaste. Complex enough and pleasant triple.

Apple and malt aroma. Golden body with a short-lived white head.. Intense malt flavour, with lasting aftertaste of hops. I hadn’t guessed it was a wheat...

Bottle, under its alias "Goliath", RBESG 2005 Grand Tasting. Sweetish malty aroma and flavour, not that remarkable.

A murky orange-brown beer with a small light brown head. The aroma is of alcohol, prunes, and raisins, but also slitghtly dusty. The flavor is sweet and very rich in fruit - especially peaches, but also notes of over ripe fruit, as well as lots of alcohol. Nice one. Thanks to Papsoe for sharing.

(Bottle 33 cl) Amber coloured with a reddish glow. Almost no head but lots of impurities. Surprisingly light body considering the alcohol. Fruity, yeasty notes and pronounced caramel from the malt. Very solid hop-bite in the finish. 230998

(Bottle 33 cl) Pitch black beer with a lovely brownish head. This really is heavy and solid stuff. Notes of licorice and an almost carbon-like driness from the burned malts. But in spite of it’s almost frightening appearance this really is rather easy to drink and the alcohol isn’t really scary. 140798

Hazy nut brown, lots of floating yeast, small creamy off-white head. Berry/red currant -nose. Medium bodied - malty saison. Yeasty, strong rye-bread malty flavor. Quite unique saison as such, it was more like drinking a lager of hard workers. Maybe bottle was not 100% ... needs re-rating.
