Rye Wine.
Tom is the second oldest brother and works a few streets away from the brewery at Zomerdijk Engineering. As you may know by now, we’re not only brewers but also build machines that breweries need. 🔧 Tom is chief of Zomerdijk Engineering.
It's not often, but sometimes Tom carries a whisky bottle around, taking little sips during our vrijmibo's. We caught him once sipping on a fancy american rye whisky.
That conversation led us to beer - it does, always, end up in beer - and rye wine. We've never brewed this style before, so this homage to Tom was the best excuse we could find.

Tap at The Scrapyard. Deep deep brown pour with a reddish hue. Nose is big spicy rye, light chocolate, booz, toffee. Taste is sweet, grainy, spicy, with lots of rye, some biscuits and a hint of chocolate. It’s got a huuuge, chewy body and soft carbonation. Pleasant, if a bit one dimensional.

44cl Blik. Zo dit is dik en stroperig zeg.. Roodbruine kleur, beige kraag. Zoet, licht kruidig, herbaal, rogge, donker fruit, caramel, dik en rijk maar niet veel diepgang, redelijk hoppig. Volle, stroperige body, veel dikker wordt het niet qua bier of het moet de consistentie van yoghurt hebben. Prima plakkerige nipper.

Lääge, tihke, rukkine, alkone, röstine, suhkrune, siirupine. Idk, pole halb, aga päris rohmakas rüübe kui Põhjala rukkiveini ja jätku leibaga võrrelda, siia on lihtsalt megalt suhkrut pandud...
