Description
O'clock Brewing est une jeune brasserie artisanale située à Bois d'Arcy (Yvelines).
The story begins in college and continues until today with the opening of the O'Clock Brewing brewery... Between there were those years when the trio brewed for fun in the parents' garage equipped with the bare minimum and then there were also these trips to several producing countries, particularly in Northern Europe, motivated by their love of the fermented drink.
These three bearded friends and keen on good beers opened their brewery in the industrial zone of La Croix-Bonnet in Bois d'Arcy. The flavors are imagined by Kévin, with five years of experience as a brewer. The three friends want to move away from the French model and offer different beers.

Bottle at home, 24th March 17. I’d have to check, but this may be the best French barrel aged beer I have had. Pours black, small tan head. Aroma is liquorice, cocoa, dark chocolate, leather. Taste is light liquorice, wood, barrel, light and really well integrated whiskey notes, enhancing the very decent base beer. Good achievement from a rising star brewery in France

Bottle shared at a Yom Kippur eve tasting at Max’s place. Thanks mom for this bottle! Hazy amber with a beige head. Nice fruity hops aroma, a bit "green", with a bit of malt. Flavor has some sweetish malt, and nice bitter fruity hops, a bit juicy. Medium-bodied, rounded. Very nice.

Bottle at home in Barbados, 20th August 16. Probably the only French DIPA ever consumed in Barbados. Pours a dark Amber. Aroma is floral hops, pine resin, citrus. Taste is bitter hops, pine, biscuity backbone. Slick mouth feel. Lingering bitter sweet finish. Similar to Brewdog Hardcore. Really very good....
