Jopen Koyt is brewed according to the Haarlem Brouwerskeur from 1407 (city recipe). This beer is brewed with gruit, a medieval spice blend with ritual-picked gale. According to a myth, gale can be hallucinating, to avoid this, gale must be picked by naked witches at full moon. You bought the ingredient gruit from the gruit gentleman (later corrupted to the Gruijter = grocer). Picked gale is decisive in the herbal mixture of Jopen Koyt.
This reddish-brown beer has a strong spicy (menthol) aroma and a mildly sweet taste. The dark malt provides caramel tones. The spicy aspect appears again in the aftertaste.

Geprobeerd tijdens een interessante lezing bij de Heemkundekring in Oirschot. Het is een troebel kastanjebruin bier met een medium beige schuim. Het heeft een aroma van rozijnen en kruiden. De smaak is kruidig met een licht zoete afdronk.

On tap at Dutch Taproom. Pours hazy dull gold with a beige head. Dried fruits, twigs, and dry caramel on the nose. Flavour has dried berries, dry herbs, dry caramel malts, earthy twigs. Nice, it's always fun to try this style.

Murky brown with a big tan head. Aroma of dark malts, candy sugar, dark fruits, herbal. Flavour is herbal sweetness, cough drops, light alcohol. A bit too sweet for me, but this is a nice and interesting brew regardless.

Аромат очень сухофруктый, много прям кураги, немного специй и совсем немного трав, и они не как обычно в грюте, есть как будто пшеница, в целом солода много. Цвет темно коричневый, пенка средняя. Вкус хороший. в меру плотный и при этом весьма питкий. Снова много кураги, вообще очень блондом Бельгийским отдает. Послевкусие уже более с травянистым оттенком, как будто гвоздик или что то похожее. В целом мне зашло.
