Le Sang d’Encre
Le Sang d’Encre
A dark beer with notes of coffee, chocolate and herbaceous hops. The mouth offers the same intense flavours, which lead to a finish that is at first bitter, and then transforms into sweet candied sugar. The Irish flavours of the sang d’encre will awaken your palate and comfort your soul.

Did you know that
This is an original nitrogen Stout recipe with European hops created by the co-founder and initial master brewer André Trudel when he was still a home brewer. This Stout is much drier (less sweet) than the other Stouts on the market and offers a delicious head and surprising gastronomic pairings, from appetizers to desserts.
