By genuinely following the motto we like to brew what we like to drink, many home brews were the base for our first beer: IKARUS. It became a robust, non-industrial quadruple. The use of five different malts gives the beer a resounding body and pleasant hints of caramel. Three Belgian hops add a subtle fruitiness and an amiable bittersweet character. Our first born was completed with star anise, some clove and a few sticks of liquorice. These spices give IKARUS its complex aftertaste, which is both tender and intense.
Brewed for both the well-experienced beer connoisseur and the occasional consumer, we present to you this modern version of a classic Belgian brown so you can enjoy it.

Dark brown colour. Lots of cake dough and overripe bananas in both the aroma and flavour. The alcohol is well hidden but overall it’s too sweet.

Pours dark Brown’ head fases away within seconds. Scent is Sharp, caramel. Taste is intense, sweetness (caramel, roasted malts ) mild bitter back as well. Somthing deels off thought.. Pain-thinner like boozyness arizes in the back, giving it that ’plastic’ character. This, plus the immediatly dissapearing foam points out to a mild infection, perhaps ? The beer itself - appartement from these characters - seems fine thought. Not sour at all, bit perhaps it will be when older. Would like to try this again and see if my opinion changes for other batches.
