Les Trois Mousquetaires La Folle du Roi

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

Herb is semi-dominant. The appearance is normal. The flavor and palate is the same as an other brown beer.This is a OK beer.

Bottle: Clouded cola color with a small but lasting cap that laces the glass well. nice spicey-herbal-burnt treacle aroma. Prickley mouth feel that turns slick. Medium body. Flavor is spicey-herbal medicinal up front then this totally collapses mid gulp as some wonderful sorghum and cinnamon toast malts flood the palate. Finish starts to go bitter with medicial herbs overpowering the sweet bready malts....extremely drinkable! This is a very good hemp beer. We usually see hemp added to sharper, lighter ale recipies but this mellow, bready, sweet, almost lager-like red ale, with the hemp adding spice and bittering, makes for a great drinking specialty beer. I got turned onto hemp beers 2 summers ago and I have to say this is the best one I’ve tasted so far where all the ingredients just meld into a wonderful flavor profile that simply works well. I want more!!

Bottle: Poured a dirty brown color beer with a medium light brown head with pretty good retention. Aroma of malt is clearly detectable and pretty much comprised everything I could detect in aroma. Taste is also heavy with malt with a strange spice or herb that is reminiscent of cardboard. Body is a bit thin with a watery feels at the end. I couldn’t detect any hops in there. Overall this is OK but doesn’t stand a great chance of making my regular purchase list.

Robe auburn surmontée d’une mousse épaisse persistente. Saveurs de malt chocolat et d’érable. Amertume en soutien.

341ml brown bottle. Ruby brown pour, small slight off white head. Big nutty, malty aroma with trace of caramel/sweetness. Medium body, dark malt flavours. Roasted malt and hops provide a bit of late bitterness.

Smells similar to Rogue American Amber was my first impression, but then I started noticing some bad burlap smells or something: rough, young malts with a cardboard or leather smell, odd and not that pleasing. Body seems full up front but then drops off quickly. Tastes like some hay, yarn, whatever... dull flavor and unexciting. Me thinks this is a gimmick.

Thanks to EyeDrinkAle for sending this brew my way a few months ago.

This is quite nice! Pours a rather mysterious mahogany colored body with a HUGE tan head; leaving lacing after every sip from start to finish. That aroma is extremely malty! Heavily roasted amber malts…. loads of toffee and some molasses. Very much like toasted honey nut wheat bread. Big notes of spruce chips and some cedar mulch… reminds me of a cigar! This is a rather tasty Amber Ale… kind of reminds me of an Irish Amber style with all the tabacco spiciness. I like it! I’d drink this again…. Although it’s highly likely that I never will have that opportunity. I bet draft would be pretty nice!

Aroma:Herbs hops nose.... Appearance:Dark amber with a good head... Flavor:good malt flavor and herbs....
