Brut Royal – Calvados

Brut Royal – Calvados de Dame Jeanne is not a Belgian beer, but rather a unique blend of Calvados and beer. Calvados is a type of apple brandy that is produced in the Normandy region of France. The term “Dame Jeanne” refers to the large glass demijohns traditionally used for aging and storing Calvados.

Brut Royal – Calvados de Dame Jeanne is a collaboration between a Belgian brewery and a Calvados producer. The beer is aged in Calvados barrels, allowing it to absorb the flavors and aromas of the apple brandy. This aging process gives the beer a distinct character and complexity.

The beer itself is described as a strong, golden ale with a rich and fruity flavor profile. It has notes of apple, caramel, and oak from the Calvados barrels. The alcohol content is typically higher than a standard beer, ranging from 8% to 10% ABV (alcohol by volume).

Brut Royal – Calvados de Dame Jeanne is often enjoyed as a sipping beer, meant to be savored slowly and appreciated for its unique combination of beer and Calvados. It pairs well with rich and hearty dishes, such as roasted meats or aged cheeses.

Overall, Brut Royal – Calvados de Dame Jeanne offers a unique and sophisticated drinking experience, combining the best of both worlds – the complexity of Calvados and the craftsmanship of Belgian beer.
