Description
La brasserie artisanale Saint-Monon est une entreprise familiale née en 1996, située à Ambly, à la limite de l’Ardenne et de la Famenne.
Saint-Monon beer was born in 1996 in the heart of the Famenne, land of brigandage and legends located at the gateway to the Belgian Ardennes. This beverage straight out of the imagination of the youngest Walloon brewer in, Pierre Jacob, quickly acquired its letters of nobility.
Pierre Jacob is an industrial engineer in the food industry. Nature, he works with and he respects it. His farm is 100% self-sufficient in electricity, the filtration residues from his beers are converted into food for the village animals, organic waste is composted, he works with recycled paper and cardboard boxes.

Bottle.Quite citric aroma, candy sugar, tulips(?). Hazy red, failing creamy brown head. Clayish minerally up-front, sweet chocolate, licorice, herbal earthy hops. Citric, metallic finish and aftertaste. Deceptively light body, sparkly - feels a but too thin on the palate though, in my mind a Dubbel is somewhat creamy.

Bottle. Cloudy orange, big creamy eggshell head. Sunbaked clay, peaches and fresh herbs. Light yet chewy body. Fruity base, bready, sweet - the woodruff shines through now and then. Hides strength very well - drinkable like soda. Bready aftertaste.

Bottled, 25cl. Hazy orange, small creamy white head. Fruity, light aroma. Starts fruity sweet (apricot), but then dry woody hoppyness. Semi-sweet.

Chestnut-amber beer, fully hazy; small, fine yellowish head. Woody, bush notes, dark undergrowth; some chocolate, but also, strangely, greenmalt. Lot of burnt notes, malty both pale and dark. Slight sourish edge, and a perfumed hint that reminds me of dry chocolate powder and dark leaves. Medium bodied, spritzy and refreshing without becoming gassy. Nice Ardennes beer. Not really great, but pleasing and easy drinking. Thanks to Stef.

Cloudy orange amber color, short head. Aroma is a bit fruity of citrus and orange, some caramel and amber malt, loads of yeast. Quite yeasty taste, bit fruity maybe, not really good balanced. I agree with Joris on this one. Missed chance.

Bottled. Hazy nut brown colour, small off white head. Aroma of barnyard, some alcohol, hops and yeast. Flavour is alcohol, sweet fruity malts, hops and some notes of yeast. Not that much barnyard in flavour in this one.
