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.

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.

Bottled in 2018, if I am not wrong, bottle coming from bootlegger, Paris. Drinking it yesterday, at the afternoon. Rich and sweet IS, syrupy, roasty, vanilla, rhum, chocolate, bitter, subtle and so rich in aromas, perfect during this busy time. 21.12.24

Draft @ La Binouze, Paris. Pours dark with a thin tan head leaving a lasting circular impression. Aroma of chocolate cake, oak and prominent bourbon. Smooth, almost oily palate, chocolatey feel with a pleasing barrel influence, distant roast.. very nice.

Red with a creamy, off-white head. Aroma promises red currant, caramel and lightly toasted undertones. A hoppy bitterness dominates start to finish, but there’s a big malty base on this one that providing a nice balance. Lingering resin, berries and caramel. Good chewiness, refreshing. Nice one.

Label said 10% ABV. Clear dark brown pour with a lasting tan head. Aromas of malt, cocoa, toast, wood/oak, bourbon, cream/milk. Taste is quite similar with a bourbon finish, slightly boozy. Really nice.
