Description
Il y a encore quelques années, Michaël Novo construisait des installations chimiques pour un bureau d’études. A la nuit tombée, sa cuisine avait les allures de laboratoire. Il expérimentait des recettes. En 2009, l’idée de créer une brasserie artisanale germe dans sa tête. Un an plus tard, le 1er avril 2010, la Brasserie du Mont Salève ouvre ses portes.

Score: 8 / 4 / 8 / 4 / 16 - - Draught at Arrogant Sour Festival 2018.
Dark brown body, with a medium, creamy, lacing, dark beige head.
Aroma of raspberries, chocolate, nuts, cocoa powder, subtle coffee.
Tastes similar, with some morw vanilla.
Medium, creamy mouthfeel, with a moderate carbonation.
Finishes smooth, a bit warm, moderate roasty, a bit sweet, with chocolate, cocoa powder, lingering raspberries.

Tasty. Very smooth to drink, with a greatly hidden ABV and a lovely combination of the raspberries and creamy chocolate notes. Not a classic Imperial Stout, as it's too less roasty, but that fits very well for the raspberries.
