Description

Brasserie Thiriez Prodige de Simon – Discover an Original Tonka Bean Doppelbock Beer

Prodige de Simon #8 is an original amber craft beer produced by Brasserie Thiriez, a respected independent brewery located in Esquelbecq, in the French Flanders region.

This beer belongs to Les Éphémères, a collection of experimental and limited-release recipes showcasing the brewery's creativity and its willingness to explore unusual flavour combinations.

A Doppelbock with a Distinctive French Touch

Inspired by the traditional German Doppelbock style, Prodige de Simon offers a rich malt-driven foundation combined with the aromatic complexity of tonka bean.

The recipe includes water, barley malt, hops, yeast and tonka bean prepared in a tincture of Genièvre de Houlle.

Genièvre de Houlle is a traditional regional spirit, creating an interesting connection between Northern France's brewing and distilling heritage.

Tonka bean is particularly appreciated for its intense fragrance, often associated with vanilla, almond, caramel and sweet baking spices.

A Rich and Dessert-Inspired Character

The brewery describes Prodige de Simon as an indulgent, pastry-inspired amber beer.

Its Doppelbock inspiration suggests a generous malt character, potentially displaying notes of biscuit, toasted bread and caramel.

The addition of tonka bean provides a distinctive aromatic dimension, enhancing the beer's dessert-like personality.

At 7.5% ABV, Prodige de Simon is designed for a leisurely tasting experience rather than simple refreshment.

Food Pairing and Serving Suggestions

This beer is particularly suitable for pairing with rich desserts.

Chocolate fondant, almond cake, crème brûlée and caramel pastries offer interesting combinations with its sweet-spice aromatic profile.

It can also be explored alongside mature cheeses, especially those with creamy textures.

Serve at approximately 10–12°C in a tulip-shaped beer glass to encourage aromatic expression.

Prodige de Simon #8 illustrates Brasserie Thiriez's creative approach to brewing, combining traditional European beer styles with distinctive ingredients from the culinary heritage of French Flanders.
