This brewer hails from France and uses three different strains of yeast to develop the aromas in the beer.  Here is a link to the website (translated from French).  Their most popular product might be Trois Monts (which I think means 3 hills).  Anyway, this is their Christmas Ale, which runs at 8.5% alcohol. 

When I poured this beer, it had a small but stable head, along with a lovely maple color.

The aromas of the beer were reminiscent of a Belgian sour Ale, although there were slight aromas of grains and nuttiness.  On top of that, I caught wine and a woodiness that left an impression. 

When I sipped the beer, the grainy woods came through on the palate.  Nuts and what I can only describe as a dry powdery quality came through in the taste.  There were a decent amount of the fruit qualities that came through as well. 

Overall, I thought that the beer was pretty un-eventful.  Since it was somewhat prosaic and static for the style type.  Better than a normal (by “normal,” I mean American macro-brew) beer but nothing special.

I’m interested to try some of their other products to see if they stand up to the emphasis the French have on gastronomy.  Don’t get me wrong, the French can make some good beers.  Beelzebuth is an example of a good and very interesting French beer.
