Description
Kompaan had humble beginnings, with just a few recipes and a whole lot of gusto. The brewery was founded by Jeroen and Jasper, two school friends that have known each other longer than not. They shared a zest for life and were ready to put The Hague on the craft beer map. The brewery name is based on this friendship, two companions drinking together. As a modern, young brewery making contemporary, exciting beers, the name is spelt in modern Dutch, as “kompaan”, and not “compaen”.

Aroma is chocolate, sugar, sweet, malt, caramel. Taste is the same, sweet, chocolate, malt, bitter, caramel, almost sickly sweet aftertaste with some alcohol. Decent enough tho.

330ml can. Poured a murky dark brown colour with a lasting frothy tan head. The aroma is roasty, creamy, toffee, boozy alcohol. The flavour is over moderate liquorice bitter, light sweet, with a rich, slightly oily, roasty, earthy, dry, oaky, warm boozy alcohol bitter palate and a frothy mouthfeel. Over medium bodied with soft carbonation.

Can. Just a very light haze on this gold beer, small bubbly pale cream colour head. Light palate, fairly smooth for a bit but then good fine minerally carbonation takes hold. Light smooth pale malts, a soft and slightly nutty German style sweetness. Saaz as an IPA? Great idea. Have to disagree with my Brewver colleague below. I'm digging the bright pine and lemongrass combo. Some mild floral herbyness coming through on the back end. Hmm, let me think, what does this remind me of? That would be Sorachi Ace then, a descendant of Saaz. Good experiment, both tasty and educational.

330ml can. Poured almost black in colour with a short-lived frothy tan head. The aroma is peaty, roasty. The flavour is over moderate liquorice bitter, with a dry, peaty, oaky, warm boozy liquorice bitter palate. Over medium bodied with soft carbonation. A quality beer for the price paid. I’d drink this again.
