Een eeuwigheid in het bos, staand op de plek waar je geboren werd. Ondergrondse vingers raken elkaar, delen voedsel, liefde, kennis. Niemand ziet het, niemand weet hoeveel leven er is. Boven de grond buigen je takken zich als lange armen over een mens. Hij schuilt bij je, je geeft hem eten. Hij neemt wat je kunt missen, vormt het om tot iets nieuws. Takjes knappen onder zijn voeten, samen spreek je de taal van het hout.
Bast is een bossig, mossig, houtig bier met berkenbast, toppen van spar en grove den en sleedoorntakken met bloesem. Donker, zacht zuur, een beetje droppig, veel natuur. De lange houtrijping van 11 maanden geeft warme, rijke smaken en een mooie gelaagdheid aan het bier. De aardse nasmaak blijft lang hangen. Bast is een collab met onze vriend Roald Sooijs.

Bottle at home, batch #3, cellared for a year or so. Pours deep opaque amber with an off-white head. Nose is dark grapes, juniper berries, some pine, loads of funk, a vague hint of acetic acid. Taste is very mild, some acidity and funk show, the finish is practically non-existent, the acidity is completely gone somehow, it closes super flat. Surprising how little character it has in taste and the finish, especially after the relatively high complexity of the aroma.
