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.

Bottle, 7.5%. Fruity aroma, hint of brown sugar. Very dark brown colour, seems clear. Big, stable, creamy, rocky tan head, leaving nice lace. The flavour is quite malty, a little sweet, some roasted malt notes and a little alcohol. All in good balance. The roasted notes are the best part of this beer, quite nice.

Bottle, 7.5%. Very clovey aroma, nice enough. Clear golden colour, OK white head. Very high carbonation. The flavour is also quite clovey, slightly sweet with an underlying roughness. All in all not bad, though.

Bottled. Deep amberish brown colour with mediumsized beige head. Aroma is caramel malts, dry dark fruits along with spices, yeast and some grass. Flavour is quite much the same along with some mild earthyness and flowery hops. Aftertaste is mainly fruits meeting earth and yeast.

Bottle: Poured a slightly cloudy blonde color ale with a big pure white foamy head with good retention and some lacing. Aroma consists of spicy yeast with medium sweet malt base. Taste is a mix between some spicy peppery yeast with some notes of light funk. Full body with some great carbonation and no apparent alcohol. I really enjoy those Belgian golden ales when they are well done with some complexity but also a great refreshing factor.

Bottle: Poured a deep brown color ale with a big foamy head with good retention and some lacing. Aroma of candi sugar with some dry fruits and some spicy yeast. Taste is also dominated by some candi sugar and spicy yeast with a nice enough malt backbone. Carbonation is great with a slightly thin body for the style and no apparent alcohol.
