Description
The first document attesting to a brewery in Cazeau is dated 17 october 1753. After 7 generations of family members running the brewery, the brewing ceased in 1969. In 2004, 35 years after the last brewing activities, Laurent Agache, 8th generation family member, started a partnership with his cousin and friend Quentin Mariage, to revitalize the brewery. They renovated the buildings and bought second hand equipment in the North of England. Currently, the brewery offers five beers with great character that are neither filtered nor pasteurized, all of which are refermented in the bottle.

If the brewery is keen on the traditional manufacturing process, it is nevertheless oriented towards innovation through a continuous search for new tastes so that beer aficionados will ever be surprised. At Brasserie de Cazeau, new typified hops, of various origins, are unceasingly tested and mixed in order to obtain beers with original, refined flavours.

(bottle, 33cl) Hazy, deep golden to amber colour with a big and blond foamy head. Bready and yeasty cara-malty aroma with notes of woody and mildly vinous fruity hops. Moderately sweet flavour, full bodied with a moderate carbonation. Bready cara-malt character with woody, delicately fruity and herbal hops; sweet and slightly bitter finish with stronger herbal notes in the aftertaste, reminding me a bit of lovage/Maggi seasoning, which I rather dislike. 28.XI.13

Malty, fruity taste with apricots, orange peel, rye bread and a generous citric bitterness in the finish, together with a warming alcohol glow. More than medium body, with a certain sweetness. Tasty and well balanced. Nice one.

Bottle. Pours cloudy dark ruby / copper brown with airy tan head. Dark aroma of malt, caramel and roast with a hintof chocolate. Sweet flavour of caramel malt with sourish notes of coffee beans and a touch of chocolate. Sour-sweet finish. Warm alcohol presence. Low carbonation. Very well balanced and delicious but very far from the style under which it is categorised here.

Bottle - Roasted malts, raisin and anise. Jet black with a foamy light brown head. Roasted malts, dark molasses, anise and a bitter almost burnt finish. The sticky molasses flavour along with the bitterness almost gives a finish of burnt sugar. That finish loses it for me.
