Description
Within our walls, we have been talking about beer, hops and malt since 1746. Founded by Jean Hatt at 22 rue des Veaux, the Esperance brewery remained active until 1863 and then closed its doors. After more than a century of slumber, beer-making began again in 1991 and the establishment was reopened to the public under the name Au Brasseur. Concerned about preserving tradition and perpetuating ancestral know-how, almost 30 years later, we continue to develop and produce all our beers ourselves.

Clear copper orange beer, creamy yellowish to light beige head, pretty stable, a little adhesive. Aroma: dirty, lots and lots of sulphur, sewers, spicy, coriander and cloves, some nutmeg maybe. It’s like the jacked up version of the Ambrée, and not in a good way. MF: ok carbon, medium body. Taste: lots and lots of cloves, coriander, some nutmeg, dry, a bit malty, unpleasant bitterness. Aftertaste: a bit sourish, very spicy, cloves, all cloves, nutmeg and coriander, dry, some bread crust, bitter finish. Pretty bad.
