Ellezelloise produces five regular beers, a blond and an amber ale, and
a hardy Belgian stout. All of them are made in small batches and are lagered for
ten days in German oak casks. They are strong, full-bodied, and very satisfying.
The Quintine Amber and Blond are named for a witch of local legend. And Agatha
Christie’s Detective Hercule Poirrot (probably Belgium’s best-known
citizen, and a native son of Ellezelles) is the namesake for the “Hercule”
Stout. It is the only distinctively Belgian stout, and every bit as sturdy and
dapper as its namesake.

Hercule
The Hercule is considered by many to be a classic, and the Blond
and Amber are impressive, delicious companions – very malty, but dry, with
a hint of sweetness in the finish, and perfectly hopped. All three share a very
distinctive and intoxicating spicy aroma of fresh spruce that suddenly, irresistibly,
fills the room when the swing-top is released. This unique house character probably
derives from the strains of yeast used by the brewery – and possibly from
the fermentation in oak – because the beers are made entirely of malt and
hops, without any spices or sugar.
