A richer version of La Moneuse

La Moneuse Spéciale Noël (ABV 8.0%) from Brasserie de Blaugies is a very festive and hearty holiday saison home-made at Belgium's smallest family brewery.
As the label says, it's really just a richer version of La Moneuse, using 4 types of malt, hops, yeast, water, and sugar. The malt flavor is a little darker, roastier, and certainly sweeter, which distracts attention a bit from the earthiness which is so notable in La Moneuse. The beers share a lot of the same characteristics, but in different proportions. Like La Moneuse, Spéciale Noël is rather fizzy, with a rustic and unique character. Ratebeer.com rating: 84 (out of 100) 12.7 oz (corked) bottle.
Brewery Information:
Brasserie de Blaugies was founded in 1987 by married schoolteachers Marie-Noëlle Pourtois and Pierre-Alex Carlier, who are adventurous in recreating traditional farmhouse beer styles. Their tiny brewery is built into the garage of a comfortable farmhouse, and is operated by Pourtois, Carlier, and their two sons. Their output is small, but so well-crafted that it's highly regarded among connoisseurs of fine Belgian Ales.
