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.

Bitter hops, pine, and tropical fruits aroma. Juicy, taste is in tropical fruits, a hint of grass and bitterness. Mid-dry finish.

Bière dégustée en pression. Robe dorée trouble, mousse fine, peu persistante. Nez fruité très agréable, sur les agrumes mûrs et une pointe de mangue. En bouche, l’attaque est douce, veloutée, bien fruitée. L’amertume monte vite en puissance mais reste maîtrisée, bien intégrée. Finale légèrement sèche, avec une belle persistance houblonnée. À 8 %, on aimerait un peu plus de corps pour soutenir l’ensemble, mais ça reste très plaisant et bien construit.

On tap at Carburant, pours black with a small tan head. Aroma is full of rich coffee, bourbon barrels, and a sturdy toasted malt base. Flavour is boozier than expected, with perfumey bourbon upfront, followed by coffee, booze, and toasted malt. Boozy and a bit messy. This one seems all over the place. Okay.

On tap at La Fine Mousse, pours black with a small tan head. Aroma is full of lush rum barrels, moderate roast, and a touch of cocoa. Flavour is complex, with beautiful rum barrels, cocoa, and toasted malt in wonderful cohesion. Ridiculously fine base beer and beautifully barrel-aged. Excellent.

On tap at Hoppy Corner, pours black with a small tan head. Aroma has soft toasted malt and some earthiness. Flavour is weak and watery, with thin toasted malt, some earthiness, and stale bread. Somewhat metallic on the finish. Not so good.

On tap at La Binouze, pours a hazed golden with a small white head. Aroma is full of piney hops, light floral notes, and biscuity malt. Flavour is much the same, with bright piney hops, with a floral tinge and a biscuity malt base. Piney, floral finish, maintaining excellent balance.

New ???? brewery ? bourbon aroma really floods out on open, lots of rich bourbon and taste follows, caramel and toffee sweetness, dried fruit, nutty accents, spice, very boozy and warming alcohol heat, bourbon soaked warming finish, powerful stuff.

On tap. Pours a very dark brown with light head. Aromas of chocolate icing, dry vanilla and slick roasted malts with just a hint of fruity rum barrel. Flavors follow same, dry but still quite a bit of chocolate icing. Very good.
