Description
Brasserie Caracole Brewing Company is a small brewery located in a small town of Falmignoul, Wallonia in Southern Belgium. It is home to the last of the wood-fired brewing kettles in Europe. Their limited technology, elbow grease style of brewing makes them an incredibly romantic and fantastic brewery. Its name was derived from a spiral snail shell that is translated into ‘Caracole.’ Since its establishment, the Brasserie Caracole Brewery has been distributing beers to various countries like France, Belgium, Italy, Holland, Switzerland, Belgium and Japan. It is famous for four traditional Belgian beers; the Prancing, the Troublette, the Sax and the Nostradamus. All four beers are bottle undergo bottle conditioning where they go through second fermentation with yeast in the bottle. This special type of fermentation has allowed for outstanding flavors and quality of beers to be produced by Brasserie Caracole Brewery.

Maakun went to Belgium and brought some tripels! 🤪🍻 Almost clear golden with white head. Strong overripe banana and cloves, orange peel edges. Sweet and somewhat bitter finish. Booooozyyyy.

Bottle shared. Bit hazy golden with white head. Cloves, pils malts, overripe banana, light fruity. Light mineral. Over medium sweet, lighter bitter and very light sour. Solid medium bodied with fizzy carbonation. Decent.

Adding in my 300 Beers To Try ticks because I want to see how they impact my stats and some of them I will never see again. Will however re-rate them when practical. Beers of Europe.
