Commercial Description:
La Porte de Hainaut une bière, un terroir l’intendant de Louis XIV louait déjà le savoir-faire des paysans du territoire aujourh’hui baptisé la “Porte du Hainaut”. Ce terroir était réputé pour la qualité des blés, des orges et des seigles. C’est surtout l’apparition de la machine à vapeur qui, au XIXe siècle, favorise l’émergence des brasseries. Des bières à fermentation haute remplissent alors les pintes et le coeur des ouvriers, les dimanches et let jours de ducasse. Généreuse bière ambrée, la “Porte du Hainaut” est véritablement l’héritière de cet art de vivre!

Bottle, at Delirium Café, Göteborg. Amber to copper colour. Vinous aroma. Notes of blackcurrants, redcurrants, oak and bakery in aroma and flavour.

Bottle. Hazy, orangey copper with a great creamy offwhite head. Chocolate nose with hints of spices, even orange. Flavours are marked by good fruitiness with oranges dominating. Sweetish, but not excessively so. Good carbonation. A very interesting and complex beer, more of a Wallonian amber than a biere de garde.

Bottle shared with HogTownHarry at Smokeless Joe. Pours a bubbly hazy orange-brown with a small off-white head. Aroma of sweet malt, fruit, spices and light hops. Flavour is predominently sweet malt -- just the right amount of sweetness for me -- also hops, wood, fruit, spices and yeast. Very smooth, I couldn’t taste the alcohol at all. I really enjoyed this.

Bottle (330ml). Shared with blankboy at Smokeless Joe. Poured slightly hazy deep orange-copper, bubbly, with a small off-white creamy head - some tiny dark sediment particles. Aroma slightly of sour wine, hops, some mild roasty malt, orange/lemon zest, a hint of resin. Tastes of sweetish orange juice, hops, mild sweet malt, a bit of pine duff - ultimately quite tart. Acidic, slightly sticky mouthfeel, very smooth. Overall quite nice - an interesting combination of tart and malty-sweet.

Satisfying smooth but unexceptional biere de garde, well carbonated even harsh. Attractive light brown rum color. Moderately fruity yeast, grape like, lemon, sugar, nuts, pepper

Bottle. Quite barnyardy. Nutty, woody with some subtle berry fruit, yeasty, savoury sort of finish, a little sticky at times and not as good as some of the other beers from this brewery.
