Les Trois Mousquetaires La Folle du Roi

Formerly brewed at Les Trois Mousquetaires
Style: Spice/Herb/Vegetable
Brossard, Canada

Bottle. Clear copper with a medium beige head. Aroma is earthy and herbal, wiht hemp, caramel and roasted malt. Taste is earthy, with hemp and roasted malt with herbal notes and a bitter aftertaste. Pretty watery body.

Bouteille de 341 ml. Couleur rousse/thé, peu de collet. L’arome de malte semble pas assé fermenté, caramel faible. Goùt plutôt simple: malte caramelisé ordinaire.

Almost no head over a slightly clouded copper body. Nose is brown sugar and caramel. Watery but tasty with malt caramel and some herbs. Tickling sensation on the tongue and cheeks (carbo? Spices?). Complete lack of hop character. Short finish. A simple, very simple beer that manages not to be boring. The King’s Fools used to be more entertaining when it was strictly a man’s thing.

Bottle from the <a href=http://www.ratebeer.com/Place/quebec/g target=blank>La Trappe à Fromage in Gatineau, Quebec. Copper in colour, beige head, some patchy lace. The aroma is of rich caramel malts, christmas cake, light chocolate, light spice. The flavour was malty (earthy, caramel, some chocolate), woody, some spice, slightly sweet. Dry mouthfeel, meduim body, medium carbonation. Finishes lingering, bitter. Pretty good actually.

Gonzoo sent me this one as an extra. Ugly amber golden color, a nice head and excelent lacing. the aroma is of a malty amber lager with very light hops and spices. Flavor is mainly of smoke! Definetly not my style i thaught this was a rauchbiere until i logged into r.b. The background is of a spicy, malty red amber ale and the foreground is all smoke and some chocolate. Coudnt realy taste the spices and herbs. Long watery finish. Thumbs down for me.

Bottle (341ml). Via trade with turg. Poured slightly hazy orange-amber with a tiny white head. Some caramel malt in the aroma, oddly and funkily spiced, slightly yeasty, a hint of wee heavy dry petrol. Taste - OMG, there’s the wee heavy - dry, oily malt, funky spice - fairly long finish for a mostly-malt brew. Mouthfeel is lightly carbonated, dry and a little watery - but I like the wee heavy style, so intentional or not, thumbs up. Thanks, turg!

I’ll be honest, the only reason I bought this beer was because it had a pot leaf on it. This is not a very spectacular ale. But it is a spectacularly gimmicky ale. I’ll give it that. Also found this one in the supermarket near my hotel in Montreal.

Nice opaque colour. Thick foamy head. Very malty taste and a pleasant aroma.
