I apologize for the long delay, but life has been a little crazy since hitting beer 200. Anyway, I am looking to catch up on all my beers, and move my focus to my own brewing and more brewery tours. Micro-brewing, whether home brewing or small batch commercial brewing, is a huge movement. Further, because the law changed in North Carolina right around the time the micro-brewing scene exploded, I think we have a unique opportunity in this state to experience beer made by people who really care about the craft.
I am also considering drinking some beers outside of the U.S. and Europe, namely central and South America, the Middle East, Africa, and the like. I think it may be fun to step out of the norm. In the meantime, however, here is my take on another Flying Saucer Beer.
Brasserie de Cazeau Tournay Noire - This beer came in an 11.2 ounce bottle and is 7.6% alcohol by volume. The beer was very dark when I poured it, but not a heavy beer in tasting. It was difficult for me to pick out specific flavors, but there were some nice malts, and the flavor went quickly to the back of the mouth. The beer was very effervescent and refreshing, so I would consider it a good dark stout for warmer weather. The flavor is very full by the end, though still delicious and refreshing. I would not consider it a traditional American or European stout, but I found it to be an excellent beer. I give it 8 1/2 out of 10.
