Two Brothers Domaine DuPage

Brewed by Two Brothers Brewing Company
Style: Bière de Garde
Warrenville, Illinois USA

bottle: pours a orange cooper colour with a small off white head. aroma of a small amount of barnyard funk and unripe apple, some malt very nice. flavour is an almost musty apple fruit that goes into some sweeter caramel mlats finishes dry with some fruity funk. a little difficult to describe,but wonderful to drink.

Bottle. Apple cider malt aroma. Cloudy amber with small head. Sweet and sour malt flavor - hints of apple and cherry. Nice tasting beer - on the sweet side.

Bottle. Clear orange/copper with a frothy off-white head. Caramel, floral, honey, herbal, butterscotch and cereal notes in the aroma. Flavor of cookie and caramel malts with some butterscotch and a slight herbal hop backing. A bit of a slippery ’tea with honey’ mouthfeel. I was hoping for some more complexity.

Sweet aroma. Very little head and not much carbonization. Very clear beer, I can watch the Bears game through it :) Just a little sweet, heavy on the malt. Average beer. Nothing amazing.

Tap at Barcade: Pours amber with a good amount of clarity, topped by an off white head. Very buttery aroma. Malt dominated, with a hint of butterscotch sweetness. The body is creamy and mildly carbonated. The flavor has a buttery malt character as well. Pleasantly sweet, toffeeish on the back with a toasted finish. Simple, but smooth with a solid profile.

Tap at the Belgian Room. Way too expensive. Dark brown pour with a small head. Good bready malts aroma. Florals. Clear, fragrant, mellow malts, biscuit and parsley taste. Goes down easy. Nice BdG.

Bottle. Pours a deep amber with an ample off-white head. Aroma of caramel malt. This beer is pretty soft with an overall malt sweetness. There is an underlying hop presence, but not quite enough for my taste. I wouldn’t want it "hoppy", not for the style, but a mild increase in hop spiciness would improve it in my opinion. It is a decent beer, not bad in any way, but nothing to write home about either.

Pours bright amber with a fully receding wispy light tan head. Aroma of fruity, earthy Fuggles, light caramel, and fruity toffee. Taste is sweet, with malty notes of caramel, toffee, nuts, and earthy hops. Mouthfeel is medium bodied, slightly sticky with very light resins with soft carbonation. A good beer, but not one I’d buy again.
