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.

Bottled. Cloudy pale yellow. Strong citiric aroma. Sweetish and rather light-medium bodied with rounded mouthfeel and a short, but intense blast of orange flavour. Lightly salty finish. On the fuller, more flavourful side of witbiers.

Bottled. Hazy red with lemnady ulra-brief head. Candy aroma. Extremely sweet with primitive clean mouthfeel and nothing but candy flavour. A kiddie drink completely without positive aspects. WTF?

Bottled. Clear mahogany colour, near no head. Aroma of mixed fruits and roasty malt. Sweetish with clean mouthfeel and almost full body. Slightly syrupy with notes of nuts, in all a too straightforward ale.

Bottled. Reddish brown with creamy off-white head. Bready with some estery strawberries. Sweet and mild, full bodied with loads of soothing, somewhat smokey chewy malt. Lots of flavours wrapped in cotton. Perhaps notthe most elegant beer, but I really, reallylike the richness and softness.

Bottled. Cloudy golden, lasting creamy head. Aroma of herbal spices. Dry and lightly fruity with medium body. The interesting spicy flavour fades quickly, and is replaced by lingering saltiness. Delightful flavour while it lasts - but needs more staying power.

Bottled. Cloudy amber, brief airy head. Striking beady aroma with a touch of raspberries. Very sweet with clean mouthfeel and medium body. Syrupy rye bead with aniseed. No bitterness. Rather confusing.

Bottled. Clear ruby, no head. Lemonady winegum aroma. Fairly sweet with clean mouthfeel and very light body, notes of raspberries. Pretty good - judged as lemonade, as it in not overly sweet. Should be good for kids.

Small white head, fast reduced to rim; deeper blond beer. Eh??? This smells of Thai currypaste with cocosmilk, and yes, some grains. Actually quite inviting. Ah. The taste recomforts my faith in des Fagnes. Off-tastes abound: loam, sulphur, faulty yeast esters. Medium bodied, grist slickness. Surprising nose - at least this brewery cannot blunder on without doing at least something good - inadvertently.
