Description
Along the road to Nismes, a stone's throw from Mariembourg, a peculiar building with a copy of a windmill is visible. It was the showcase of a disco that was turned into a brewery by Frédéric Adant in 1998.

At the Brasserie des Fagnes, we brew around 50 different beers per year. Our brews and beers offered for tasting may change according to the seasons. More fruity in spring, light and refreshing in summer, rather amber in autumn with more body and taste, finally more alcoholic in winter with a tendency towards strong browns ... Yes, there is something for everyone's taste at the Brasserie des Fagnes! Some of its beers are only available at the Brasserie des Fagnes. After brewing, fermentation and aging in the tank, they are transferred to storage tanks which are directly connected to the flow pumps in the tasting room.

Aroma: 7/10, Appearance: 4/5, Taste: 7/10, Palate: 4/5, Overall: 13/20, MyTotalScore: 3.5/5

16/III/13 - 33cl bottle @ Taverne le Picotin (Chimay) - BB: n/a (2013-244) Thanks to Akke for sharing the beer!

Clear blond beer, creamy off-white head, pretty stable, bit adhesive. Aroma: pretty spicy, cloves, some coriander, bit dusty, little fruity, yeasty. MF: ok carbon, medium body. Taste: bit sourish in the start, grassy hops, grains, malty, particular yeasty character, spices, some liquorish. Aftertaste: soft bitterness, pretty spicy, coriander, some orange peel, hay, yeast. A bit like a Tripel Karmeliet.

Tasty! Smooth yet snappy belgian ale. This brewery is not far from Chimay, and I need to stop by next time I’m in Belgium. Thick, creamy head and fine active carbonation keep the head alive. Aroma is faint, but taste is right up front with hay, hops and a little licorice. Alcohol is barely noticeable.

33cl bottle, bb 01-09-2013 Dorée, col épais blanche. Arôme est fruité houblonné avec un petit côté sucré et fruité aromatique rappelant la pelure d’orange avec une pointe d’herbes de montagne venant de la levure. Palais est dans un style tout à fait belge avec qcq notes épicées de levure gardant néanmoins un profile doux. Houblon typique, levure, pointe d’épice, malt cara sur un fini sec.

Slightly astringent finish on this brune, leaves sour taste on palate. Wine/cola aroma, dark but clear brown, with airy head that leaves lots of lacing on the glass. Taste...prune juice? The sweetness sets this one apart from the pack of Belgian brunes....

6.3/10 — Appearance 6 Aroma 6 Flavor 6 Texture 6 Overall 7
75cl bottle bought at 8ième fête de la bière Namuroise. BB 03/2013, big gusher. Ambrée, col épais beige qui se dissipe assez vite. Arôme garde un profile trop prononcé de sucre de fermentation, note tropicale et de grains.Palais est similaire, pas trop douce, mais on y note trop de sucre résiduel, pointe d’amertume en fin de bouche alternant entre fruits noirs et citronné, le tout garde un léger picotement de fin de bouche. Se termine sec avec une belle présence de grains. Pas certain que les céréales aient été utilisées au meilleur de leur capacité.
