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.

Aroma: Dark malt, caramel, notes of spice, dried fruit, raisins, chocolate, with hints of licorice. Moderately sweet and moderately bitter. Medium body. Something like a cross between a stout and a strong Belgian dark ale. Not quite my cup of tea, but an interesting beer, quite different.

A dark Belgian strong ale, one of my preferred styles. And it is Buffalo Trace bourbon barrel aged, only better. Let us see if my expectations are met. Using a tulip glass, I open the 33 cl bottle and pour. The body is brown-amber and the head shows a parchment tan color before settling promptly to a decent skim. I smell dark fruit, grain and a bit of booziness, all somewhat subtle. The taste is all right but blander than I hoped. Yellow plums, cereal, a bit of hard candy, malt, raisins and just a hint of the bourbon. A decent beer, unfortunately not one that pops with flavor.

Explosive gushing to as much beer on the table as in the glasses. Ending in a good yellowish head over some metallic orange beer. - 2 points. Pharmaceutical, Brasil nuts, wild yeasts, arachide. Old, oxydized nuts, oxydized malts, and Brettanomyces, of course. Paste made from... scorzanero? Of course overcarbonated. Slick, medium bodied. Bretts as an infection, I fear. Txs to Stef!

Bottled. Poured dark with moderate, not long lasting head. Malty dark fruity aroma. Nice chocolatey taste. Very well done.
