About
In 1998, La Brasserie An Alarc’h (swan in Breton) moved to the Monts d'Arrée, in Huelgoat. At the end of the first 7 years, the brewery found itself in difficulty and its founder decided to sell An Alarc’h to SCOP Tri Martolod, which was in charge of straightening and developing it. In 2015, the brewery moved to La Feuillée and Rod, a new partner comes to support the growth of the brewery.

Bouteille 33cl, BB 29/07/2016. Courtesy of and shared with Cécile. Ambrée, col blanc léger. Arôme offre un bouquet au profil sous-jacent de levure, malté très faible tout comme un houblonné restant u peu à la ramasse. Palais est malté avec encore une fois ce côté de veille pomme, note de pelure avec un possible usage de levure champenoise voire de cidre. Houblonné est discret ici encore dans les tons nobles. Je note en toute fin de bouche une note finement acidulée-oxydée qui semble indiquer des signes d’infection. Bizarre, 2 sur 3 où je retrouve ce même profil de pomme.

Bouteille 33cl, BB 14/09/2016 de 5.5%. Courtesy of and shared with Cécile. Ambrée sur un reflet acajou, col beige. Arôme est malté, moyen en note de grains pâle voire carapils, le tout est fort monodimensionnel. Palais est malté, carapils, houblonné amer assez léger avec un fini herbacé houblonné noble, pointe d’épice. Palais est sec, amertume reste discrète et je peine à trouver ce profil fruité un peu rouge qui caractérise un style Irish ale, si tel est le but de la bière. Par contre, je note un léger côté pomme caramélisée qui n’est pas forcément un bon signe au niveau des phénols. Une levure de cidre peut-être?

Bouteille 33cl, BB 06/08/16. Courtesy of and shared with Cécile. Ambrée, col blanc léger. Arôme est léger sur un rétro de grains, pointe surette qui me rappelle un peu la base de moût pour gueuze. Dans ce cas ci, je pense que ce n’est pas le but attendu. Un houblonné discret arrive en retrait. Palais est épais bénéficiant de l’ajout de sarrasin. Malt pils-cara?, pointe surette venant peut-être de la fermentation et réaction de la levure? A un côté un peu infecté. Houblonné est plus en retrait et reste, ici aussi, dans un rôle noble, neutre. Pas mauvaise, mais qcq chose semble pas juste.

Botled. A black beer with a dark brown head. The aroma has notes of chocolate, roasted malt, and herbs. The flavor is sweet with an acidic edge and notes of roasted malt, wood, and dark bitter chocolate, leading to a dry roasted finish.

Bottle at home from, Cave a Bulles. 5th October 13. Ashy, some liquorice, a little coffee, some earth. A little over carbonated, but quite enjoyable

From my girlfriend who got this in Paris: Pours black with a really nice dark brown head. Aroma is dark chocolate, roasted malts, and burnt bread. Taste is sort of bittersweet, with plenty of chocolate and a nice amount of hops. Body is not too heavy, making for easy drinking. Well-balanced. Nice to see that the French have figured out stouts.
