Stronger, fuller flavored version of the classic bière de garde. The New York Times (your Paper of Record) just anointed this beer the ultimate bière de garde, and rightly so. It’s a rich, rare treat from one of France’s old guard craft breweries. Be there or be square.

Sampled on 3/26/2011. This Biere de Garde pours a medium brown color from a 750ml bottle. Medium sized beige, rocky foamy head, with good retention and nice lacing. The aroma is caramel, fruity and sweet. The malts are caramel and fruity. The hops are earthy. Malty, but not very sweet. Nice carbonation. Seems like a milder Biere de Garde. Mouthfeel is full and round. Finish is clean and smooth. Aftertaste is slightly sweet.

Bottled. Slightly hazy amber colour, mediumsized creamy beige head. Aroma is caramel malts, some bready notes as well as herbal and rather earthy notes as well. Flavour is caramel, earth, herbs and some mild fudgelike notes. Mild spicyness as well.

Bottle. Poured a clear deep amber colored beer with a three fingers slight beige foamy head that had a long retention. Active carbonation. Good lacing. The aroma is slight roasted malts, ripe dark fruits, raisins, plums, spicy, toffee, chocolate. The flavour is slight roasted caramel malts, grassy hops, fruity, nuts, hazelnuts. The mouthfeel is crispy and oily. This medium bodied beer has a long dried fruits finish. A nice Christmas gift.

A recent winter brew that came into my hands. It pours a copper colour with a tan head. The aroma is earth and nutty malt. The flavour is dry malt, some hops, and a bit of soil. Not as spicy as I like my Christmas beers.

Poured a copper color with cloudy head not much lacing. Aroma was very musty some carmel in there. Flavor was much the same, nuttyness. Good beer.

Pours an amber to copper color, decent slightly off white colored head, spotty lacing. The aroma was caramel, musty, nuts. Flavor followed suit, caramel nuts, a tad sweet, but somewhat lager-like clean finish w/ some bittering hops (not a lot of flavor from them, earthy, a touch of grass). This thing came across a lot like an altbier, the first stored french beer that has done so? Decent stuff, mouthfeel full and a little sticky.
