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.

Bottle at De Wildeman, Amsterdam, 29.02.12 Conker brown appearance with a tan head. This is sticky with some toffee, caramel and maltiness. To be fair it is a touch too sweet and toffee like for me, but it is ok. A6 A4 T6 P3 Ov12 3.1

30 cl. bottle. Colour is a cloudy reddish brown whith a thin off-white head. Most prominent in the aroma as well as the taste is liquorice, I think because of the use of gruit insteas of hops. There is also some roasted malts and some caramel in the taste. Overall a nice non-standard beer.
