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.

Huge, yellowish/orangey head, stable, over deep cognac-coloured beer, lively carbonated with fine bubbles and textbook lace. Sweet, alcohol, branches, molasses, apples and - indeed - Calvados. Bit of chalk. Sweet-bitterish, lots of booze, watercolour paint. Raw, almost bitter alcohol in the finish. Sweet ripe pears, dried apricot, apricotbrandy. Almost astringent, very oozy, oily. Good carbonation, fiery alcoholheat. It's raw. But I'm still pleasantly surprised. Compared with the muck des Fagnes had us accustomed to, this is heaven. Txs to Stef!

Õlle on selline jook, et iga uus kord kui klaasi või pudeli suule tõstad, siis leiad midagi uut, sõltuvalt tuhandest-miljonist pisiasjast, mis hetke olukorda mõjutavad. Seega piirdun iga õlle juures selle tekstiga.
