Les Trois Mousquetaires La Folle du Roi

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

Dark amber in colour with aromas of herbaceous hops and mild malts. The caramel malts dominate the flavor profile, and there is an odd dryness to this beer as well. Drinkable enough, but lacking in complexity. Thanks to Lubiere for the sample.

341 ml bottle. Dark amber-to-bronze, tiny lasting fizzy head...brown sugar and sweet herbs in the nose...body is surprisingly bitter, somewhat sulforous and redolent of burnt & smoked malts, quite dry throughout and bitter/sour to finish. There’s a brackish, saltwater quality in here that somehow works because of the fairly strong malt underlying, but it’s an oddity that I won’t drink often..

Dark amber hue. Thick foamy head, floral, hoppy pale malt aromas follow through on a medium-bodied palate, dry pale malt, hazelnut, hop bitterness with a dryness finish

bottle - thanks to eyedrinkale for the trade. Pours dark reddish brown with a nice large beige head that left interesting lacing as it diminished. Aroma is malty and spicey, with hints of cinnamon and clove. Flavor is darkish, a bit on the roasty side along with caramelly malts, the aforementioned spice and a pleasant hoppy astringent bite in the finish. Light to medium body and plentiful carbonation.

Bottle thanks to Eyedrinkale. Mahogany color with a small off white head. Somewhat metallic, malty aroma. Flavor of malt, some caramel and a bitter hop finish. Odd taste, not totally unpleasant, but odd.

Dark copper body topped with average off-white foamy head. Aroma is dominated by breadiness but also has some gentle herbal notes. Nicely bitter and well-balanced malty/hoppy taste with some sweet hints. Ends with a good bitter finish. This is a good beer, but it is rather unidimensional.

This is the second time I taste this beer and I must say it is far better than the first time I’ve tasted it. The color was a beautiful amber with touches of red. The beer has interesting flavors ranging from caramel to sweet malt. The aftertaste was warm and very comfortable. A fine ale.

Reddish colour, almost no head. Hoppy aroma, malty, woody and hoppy taste. Just a hint of hemp fIavour. Bitter finish. An ok beer.
