Description
Noire de Chambly honours the brave soldiers of the fighting Carignan-Salières Regiment , saviours of Nouvelle France. Dispatched by King Louis XIV in 1665 to protect Montreal and the colony, they built a string of forts on the Richilieu River including historic Fort Chambly. This to the legendary Iroquois peace of 1667. Officers and soldiers were encouraged to stay. A number of them married Filles du Roi, raised large families and prospered.
Noire de Chambly has an opaque black colour with beige-coloured foam. Its roasted malt character is complimented by spicy, mildly smoky notes and surprisingly clean dry finish.
Comments
BBC » The beer is pretty good, but the first half of the bottle is always frothing over. I should really pour it into a glass.
