La Fin du Monde was named after the European explorers’ belief they had reached the end of the world when they discovered a new world, later known as America, and more specifically when someone in the marketing team (who was getting desperate with finding a satisfactory name for the beer) exclaimed to his discouraged colleagues: it’s not the end of the world!

The aged beer is a higher-alcohol, dark mahogany-colored ale that is matured in American-oak casks for two months. We then blend it with lighter, freshly brewed ale resulting in a divine combination that reveals spicy, vanilla, and chocolate aromas married to a fruity, refreshing acidity. The name “Stock Porter” was the moniker 19th century pub keepers gave to the more expensive Porter that had been aged in their beer cellars, as opposed to “Mild Porter”, which was a less complex, less expensive, and less characterful brew.

It took a while but I finally joined the 101 beer club at BB Rover’s. This was #101, I probably should have order such a big bottle but the 101st beer is free!

Poured from a 12 oz. bottle into the curved weisse glass from the gift pack. Attempted to do it traditional style, pretty much failed on that. (Will not be holding my poor pour against the score!) Appearance- After it settled down, excellent amount of head with lacing throughout. Hazy golden color, like a hefeweizen should have. Smell- Exactly what you should expect from the style. Lots of cloves and bananas. Pleasant, but not overpowering in any way. Taste- Again, bananas and cloves, a very full taste, but still very easy drinking. Mouthfeel- Exceptional! Despite the full taste, this in no way taxed my palate. As light on the tongue as a BMC lager, but with a taste that rivals any beer. Overall- Had to go the full monte on this one. In addition to the combination of drinkability and full flavor, you can taste history while drinking this beer. This is the hefeweizens all others are measured against, and for a good reason.

The beer pours a clear yellow color with a white head. The aroma is grassy hops with some bready malt. The flavor is hoppy, but the bread/toffee malt make the beer very well balanced. There is some grassyness in the flavor from the hops. Medium mouthfeel and medium carbonation. A nice, easy drinking balanced pilsner. Nothing too exciting, but a good beer to drink the hot months.
