Company Description: Reinstalled 1997 in the abbey itself, the brewery took inspiration from the receipts formerly used by the brewers-monks of Val-Dieu to make this tradition last. Of course, those receipts had to be adapted to the raw materials and techniques of today.
Nowadays, our beers are real abbey beers, of high fermentation, not pasteurized, simple, without seasoning and brewed according to the old infusion method.
Val Dieu brewery invites you to discover its various and flavourfull beers:
The Blonde... Freshness and lightness !
Origin: Brewery tradition of the abbey Notre-Dame de Val-Dieu, going back to its foundation in 1216.
Type of beer: Highly fermented monastery beer, partly filtered but unpasteurised.
Aroma: Beautiful perfumed aroma, slightly piquant.
Alcohol volume: 6%
Colour: Pale yellow, slightly cloudy.
Flavour : At first taste sugared, then slightly bitter, being made from two traditional hop varieties. Little after-taste on a very slighly bitter base. Extremely digestible and refreshing.
The Brown... Mystery and Quietness !
Origin: Similar to its pale sibling and also inspired by an old abbey recipe.
Type of beer: Highly fermented monastery beer, slightly filtered but undergoing a second fermenteation in the bottle.
Aroma: Powerful café/moka.
Alcohol Volume: 8%
Colour: In spite of its name the colour is more dark ruby.
Taste: If its aroma reminds you of coffee/mocha, the mocha taste disappears, leaving only a slight coffee flavour, with almost no bitterness. Piquant like the pale ale.
The Triple... Strenght and Serenity !
Origin: Originaly inspired by a monastic recipe from the abbey of the same name, which as already produce a pale and a brown ale.
Type of beer: Abbey triple pale ale, unfiltered and unpasteurised, brewed by a layman in the right wing of the abbey.
Aroma: Both delicate and full-bodied.
Alcohol content: Strong 9%
Colour: Warm yellow, slightly cloudy.
Flavour: Its a full bodied taste is progressive but never excessive. A slightly sugared flavour in the middle of the mounth - a perfect combination of alcohol, bitterness and sweetness. Finally accentuates an aromatic and alcohol bitterness. Excellent and highly digestible, particulary when accompagning a good meal.
