Description
Une Anneé, an Independent Craft Brewery, was born, in 2013, on the near west side of Chicago, with the quest of making fine Belgian inspired ales for all beer lovers. Founded by architect and Chicago native, Jerry Nelson, Une Anneé, has expanded it’s offerings over the years with an emphasis on fruited and unfruited American Wile Ales and Barrel Aged Stouts. In 2017, the brewery moved to neighboring Chicago suburb, Niles, IL and expanded to include a taproom. The working brewery in the background lends a hand to creating a laid back atmosphere where you can sit back and enjoy some of your favorite craft beers on tap.

Kinda feels like chocolate notes too or maybe the truck load of vanilla is tripping me out. Cool light funk, tart berries.

2021 edition. Black body, thick brown head. Vinous nose with dark leathery fruits, coffee, and toasted sugars. Sweet body, lots of grape and berries, also cocoa powder and a touch of clove. Odd, unbalanced. It's hard to believe this is really 10.6% ABV.

Bottle. Pours a hazy yellow with small white head that diminishes quickly. The aroma is strong peach flesh, cinnamon, vanilla. Thin body, sweet peach, cinnamon, oak, light vanilla, very nice.

It is your basic tallboy aluminum can with a minimalist stick-on label. Tripel, as it is called currently, was recently acquired from the nice people at Halftime. No knowledge of the brewer but I do like tripels considerably. I pull the tab and make the pour into a snifter. The appearance is a regal, golden body finished with a small ring of white foam. An attractive scent, peach, white bread and yeast. The taste goes along with the nose, pretty decent. Apricots, peaches to a lesser degree, grain, yeast, banana surprisingly and the barest intrusion of hops. The brew warms up, it gets only better. A most pleasant tasting.

Bottle at GABF. Pours a dark purple with medium pink head that lasts. The aroma is currant, berry, earth, oak, vanilla. Slick body, jammy currant, blackberry, oak, vanilla, nice tartness, enjoyed this.

Can from Tavour. Pours hazy dark red with a slight, transient pink/beige head. Aroma is tart cherry with a sweet note at the end of the inhale. Med body. Flavor is rather tart/sweet cooking cherry. Nicely done, but I opine it would have been nicer with Schaarbeekse cherries - tho that might just be a head thing. Morello may be morello wherever found. Good ale in any case.
