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.

Bottle at Café de Hazeburg, Ermelo. Aroma is light spicy Saison yeast and pale malt with a hint of funk. Also has a touch of soap. Flavour is lightly sweetish and moderate bitter. Body is medium, has a fairly dry finish. Decent but ordinary Saison.

Bottle at home. Aroma is dark malt, caramel, spicy notes, dried fruits, raisins, chocolate, with notes of liquorice. Flavour is moderate to medium sweet and moderate bitter. Body is medium. A very Belgian style Stout, like a blend of Stout and Belgian strong dark ale flavours. Not exactly how I like my Stout, but it’s an interesting beer, very different.

Bottiglia. Il gusto il naso viene attratto dall'orzo. L'olfatto viene stimolato in maniera normale e l'esistenza olfattiva è sufficiente. Il cappello di schiuma ha una buona tenuta. La grandezza delle bollicine è medio-fine. Il liquido è di aspetto velato. Il colore è giallo dorato brillante. Il corpo è rotondo. L'amaro è contenuto. La forza gustativa è normale e permane in modo sufficiente. Le sensazioni boccali finali risultano di pronta beva. Il retrogusto è di decente intensità. Al gusto vengono donati toni di miele, pane, cracker, frutta secca, erbaceo ed agrumi.

Bottiglia. Gushing! Il gusto al naso viene attratto dal fruttato. La finezza olfattiva è elevata e il modo in cui permane è sufficiente. Il manto birroso superiore resiste poco. La grandezza delle bollicine è medio-fine, con carbonazione abbondante. Il liquido appare nuvoloso. Il colore è ambrato. Il corpo è pieno. L'amaro è nella media. La forza gustativa è elevata e la permanenza è buona. Il gusto è piacevole. Le sensazioni boccali finali risultano di birra beverina. Il retrogusto è intenso. Al gusto vengono donati toni di miele, crosta di pane, frutta secca, erbaceo, agrumi, arancia, erbe aromatiche e lampone.

Bottle from Beergium. Aroma is bready brown malt with caramel, toffee, dried fruits, plum, spicy notes, Belgian yeast, touch of candy and nuts. Flavour is medium sweet with a relatively noticeable bitterness in the finish. Body is medium. Better than I expected from the average score, but lacks body and depth.

Towering, dense & fine, fluffy and just yellowish head over lively carbonated pale golden beer with lacerings. Chalk, yeast, spicy malts. Some strange other grains impression, and sugar. Rather bitter-bitterish taste, with a somewhat sweeter finish, again referring to white sugar. More spicy malts and the label indeed testifies of some pretty strange adjuncts. Wether this is better quality remains to be seen. Somebody might explain to them that rice is considered low quality adjunct, even if it comes from ngo operated paddies. Something as felt retronasal. Fluffy, creamy texture, medium bodied at least, high carbonation. OK, but nothing special. Txs to Stef!
