Hello beer lovers and welcome to another edition of the
NorCal Beer Blog's brew review.
Tonight’s featured beer is The Bruery Couverteur -
Belgian-Style Ale With Cacao Nibs And Vanilla Beans Added.
From The Bruery website: “Couverteur is
our spin on the classic Belgian-style dubbel. A beer rich in the monastic
tradition of the Belgian countryside, our take on this robust brown ale has an
addition of raw cacao nibs and fresh vanilla beans for a little extra fun.
Couverteur is earthy with notes of dry cocoa, dark prunes and dried cherries,
all nestled within the drawers of a fine piece of antique furniture.”
Let’s get started!
Appearance: Pours
a dark orange with a foamy tan head leaving some lacing.
Aroma: Toasted
malt, caramel, dark fruits, cocoa, vanilla and brown sugar.
Taste: Bready,
toasted and caramel malts, vanilla, dark fruits and cocoa.
Overall: The
Bruery Couverteur is unique. Certainly
drinkable, this 8% ABV offering is medium-bodied and probably something I’d
seek to try on tap.
Cheers!
