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.

Bouteille 33cl. Merci Pierre T. Brune foncée, col léger crémeux blanc-cassé. Arôme au bouquet malté caramel, pâle, pointe de cacao judicieusement placée avec un rétro salin apportant une touche plaisant de minéral. Palais reste centré sur le malté et cela même à 4.5% on retrouve un malté vraiment bien dosé qui apporte une belle complexité à ce stout. Le tout verse plus vers le caramel, grillé et ponctuée par l’ajout de poudre de cacao. Le sel ajoute un côté maritime salin très plaisant qui se mélangé bien aux malts.

Bouteille(Merci, le professeur!): deep golden, a bit unclear, small and stable creamy white head; exotic fruits and traces of cough-syrup in the drier bitter-malty nose; moderate to solid bitter-sweet flavour, medium bodied, not very soft; lingering poney and fruity-exotic finish, hops stickin’ to the tongue. Quelle surprise!!! Quelle surprise…
