Fauve Racines d'Ébène

Overview

At 11% ABV, this imperial stout takes you deep into the world of dark malt. Fauve, the Parisian brewery known for artistic experiments and ever-changing styles, builds a powerful narrative of roasted notes and layered complexity here.

Tasting Notes

On the nose, expect immediate espresso and dark chocolate, backed by hints of dried fruit. The palate is full and creamy: roasted coffee, pure cocoa and a touch of vanilla. The mouthfeel is heavy and warming, with a dry, slightly bitter finish where coffee notes linger. The 11% alcohol is noticeable but without harsh edges.

Brewery

Fauve brews from Paris without a fixed lineup – each beer is a one-off experiment. The brewery combines craft skills with graphic art: every can receives a unique design from rotating artists. The focus lies on Anglo-Saxon brewing traditions with modern twists.

Serving

Serve at 12-14°C in a rounded glass. Pairs excellently with chocolate desserts or aged cheeses with nutty notes.
