Description
The pig philosophy was born in Lorraine, among the "Gros". With us, everyone is "fat" and you don't have to be physically imposing to be "fat" in your mind. Note, however, the deep respect we have for the most sensitive among us because, to quote a quote from Mr. Audiard who is dear to us, "When the guys of 130kg say certain things, those of 60kg listen to them. "
The porcine philosophy above all reflects the character traits of piglets, both jovial and epicurean, as quick to chouille as to taste a mousse in the rules of the art. She also has the will not to take herself seriously even if it does not prevent anything from knowing how to assert herself.
Having the Pig Spirit is also knowing how to share with friends. So let's start by opening up a good beer!
Swine friendships,
The Big Three.

33cl can, BB 06/2027.
Brune foncée, col café au lait, le tout sur un léger filament huileux sur les rebords du verre.
Arôme sur un bouquet assez malté - caramel, pâle, léger sur l'apport de Bourbon - pointe de barrique. Malt un peu crystal, petite note surfant sur des fruits secs et noirs. Ici aussi, le côté gros stout semble plus en retrait.
Palais est boozy d'emblée - Bourbon plutôt en retrait avec l'effet barley wine qui domine plus que sur la base de RIS. Petite note métallique, biscuité, caramel, cookie, petite touche cendrée/fumée avec une fine note de vanille en retrait. Alcohol burn persiste sur la fin.

44cl can, BB 04/2025.
Dorée sur un léger pâle, col blanc crémeux tenace.
Arôme sur un bouquet fruité oscillant entre tropical et agrumes. Présence du sarrasin en rétro-nasal qui interpelle mais en positif pour moi, après cela sera selon les goûts de chacun. Le tout repris par une pointe de raisin blanc.
Palais sur un caractère assez unique avec l'apport de sarrasin qui de suite confère une pointe de grillé voire de céréales torréfiées. Les houblons restent cependant bien la avec une belle note d'agrumes et orange. En retrait, léger apport tropical.

In fine, assez plaisante avec une approche intéressante de l'usage de sarrasin pour mettre en avant le caractère breton de cette collaboration.

opalescent pale golden colour, moderate sized off-white head; aroma of lemony, lemon zesty, grapefruity, some peachy and smoked pepper (paprika) notes; taste has similar notes to the aroma with some hoppy bitterness and spicy-chili peppery aftertaste; strange one, but still quite enjoyable

The can literally blew up on the shelf in the cellar in mild but not warm temperatures after circa 60 days storage. Top completely sheared off, most of it overflowed. Sampling the 20% left inside. Light brown, no head anymore, but surprisingly still some mild to faint carbonation. Rich, caramel aroma. Taste is mildly bitter. Might have been a decent beer, but not for me.
