COMMERCIAL DESCRIPTION
Bottle; Unfiltered.
Gavroche was a generous and rebellious Paris urchin and a character in the Victor Hugo (1802-1885) novel “Les Misérables.” It is also a strong, amber beer, where the flavour of its top-fermentation yeast combines perfectly with the taste of the special malts. Fermented again in the bottle, the Gavroche beer should be served with care between 10 and 12°C.

Habanero (1094) - Tranbjerg, DENMARK - OCT 15, 2011
Bottled. Pours clear amber with a large, frothy, white head leaving a great lacing. Nose of citrus, apple, yeast and earthy + floral hops. Sweet and fruity flavor with caramel, nice malt base, yeast+ spicy notes. Full to medium bodied, creamy texture and soft carbonation. Ends up more dry with alcohol and quite bitter. A complex and very enjoyable Biére de G.

yngwie (8703) - Kristiansand, NORWAY - SEP 17, 2011
Bottle. It pours a clear, golden body under a huge, diminishing off-white head. Lightly milky nose with some fruityness and a touch of yeast. Yeast, milkyness notes, fruityness and some licorice-ish, or fennel maybe, hints. Caramel. Medium body. Fruity finish. Overall, a decent beer, I don’t care too much for the aroma, but the taste is nice, although a bit low on bitterness. Not low on bitterness according to style. 110917

UM02 (187) - Quebec, CANADA - SEP 13, 2011
Strong alcohol taste that kills any other flavour other than some sweetness. Tastes a bit like a bock beer with some cheap whiskey added to it. Not impressed at all.
