L’Affaire Dreyfus
L’Affaire Dreyfus
L’Affaire Dreyfus is a brown beer with a nice sustaining head and a nose that evokes herbaceous, citrusy candy aromas and light notes of spice. On the palate, dominating malt flavours give way to a pleasant foretaste of roast and coffee. Trappist yeasts complete the experience by punctuating the finish with hints of spice.

Who it is for
First of the Devil’s Island series, this neo-Trappist, dry and hoppy beer is an ode to Capitain Alfred Dreyfus’ resilience after being unjustly deported and imprisoned in a penal colony on Devil’s Island in French Guiana. This case provoked a passionate debate at the end of the 19th century and there is no doubt that this beer will do the same in this beginning of the second millennium. A part of this beer is also currently imprisoned and fermenting in Hérisson barrels, its conditional release being schedule for fall 2017. Brewed in collaboration with l’Isle de garde (Montréal).
