Jeff Hamm, the young brewer behind Walloon, pays homage to traditional French brewing with this beer, the second seasonal offering from Southern Star. We tasted it last night, and Hamm has hit this one out of the park, as well. Among the terms used to describe the brew, all accurate, were: Delicate, subtle, malty, rustic, with a hint of sweet pear or apples. It’s a brew that’s delicious cold and gets better and more interesting as it warms.

“This beer, to me, if anything, it’s rustic,” said Fougeron, who is clearly and rightfully pleased with the way the brew turned out.
Hamm said the beer was kept aside for more than a month, a further commitment to tradition for a rapidly growing brewery where space is at a premium. “The difference between weeks 3 and 4 is remarkable,” he said. “The flavors really come together.”
Southern Star made a limited batch of Le Mort Vivant, and Fougeron said he expects the stash to sell out quickly. It began showing up in some bars this week and by the second week of December it should be available on store shelves in cans.
