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.

Sweet and yeasty toast-malty aroma with notes of caramel, restrained but slightly vinous fruity notes and a spicy touch of nutmeg. Slightly sugary sweet flavour, full bodied with a moderate carbonation. Slightly nutty toast-malty taste with notes of caramel, dried fruits and spicy flavours; sweet and slightly bitter finish with vinous fruity and spicy notes. The alcohol is well-covered. 26.XII.11

Bottled 750ml (BZ, BB 09/2014)
Deep, clear chestnut brown color, steady beige head. Strong plum aroma with kandi sugar sweetness, later sweet aromas are tuned down. Medium-bodied. Dark fruits (dates, plums, raisins) in the flavor. Some kind of tart vibe too - maybe from alcohol. Quite simple and traditional strong Belgian (dark) ale.

Bottle @ benzai, thanks thompson for sharing. Nice brown colour, but the head is quickly gone. Smells sweet, caramel and hay. Tastes sweet (in a good way this time), fresh and crispy. Bit watery though. Fizzy carbo, full body.

75 cl bottle thanks to Leo / Quark (not on ratebeer), sampled on September 17, 2011Hazy copper color, fluffy white head. Sweet, strawberry jam scent, also berries. Sweet strawberry taste. Moussy mouthfeel, low bitterness.Nice and smooth, drinkable. Cork was fast out of there though, don’t be keeping the bottle aimed for your eyes when loosening the metal straps from the cork.

75cl, corked, shared with Gnoff during Zwanze 2011 day, Moeder Lambic, Brussels. Thanks Léo for the bottle. Bière active, dès ouverture sur un bouchon qui ne s’éternise pas dans la bouteille. Couleur ambrée claire, allant sur le ton d’une confiture de fraise, col épais beige. Arôme, on y retrouve tout bonnement une sorte de purée de fraise, allant sur la confit assez sucré, même à l’arôme, rappelle le côté terreux de la fraise. En bouche, bière sucrée à la fraise, un bon profile caramel/sucré pouvant inclure une boisson soda fruitée, profile terreux avec en retrait une pointe d’amertume et houblon. Reste à savoir si cette dernière utilise des vraies fraises ou des extraits. La fraise étant assez versatile dans un usage brassicole. Similaire à la Wépionnaise, sauf que ici, je retrouve un côté plus naturel.
