Since the last posting, we've been having a session. Winners: St. Rieul Brune sur lie (a fantastic Belgianish Stoutish brown, pours black, no head, tastes of espresso, figs, chocolate, but also the Belgian cloves and spices come out; beautiful), and Volcelest Brune (a nice, crisp, balanced, slightly hoppy brown ale, very refreshing and satisfying without making me slobber for more). Losers: Just barely losers, Garrigues La P’tite Bière (great initial taste but thin to the point of falling over like cardboard; refreshing for a summer day but didn't live up to the hoppy hype - Simon told me a great story about how at the end of the year they cleaned out all their remaining hops with this beer, but that must have been like ten hop pellets) and La Choulette Brune (not too bad, but kind of a medicine-and-dust combination that made me not want to finish the bottle.) Alright, back to tasting. It's a hard life.
