Description
Eggens Craft Beer is een aantal jaren terug kleinschalig thuis begonnen. We zijn begonnen met het brouwen van bier op een Braumeister 50 liter, waar we veel geëxperimenteerd hebben met verschillende stijlen. Nadat we hier de smaak goed te pakken hadden, hebben we gekozen om onze bieren grootschalig te brouwen.

Dit zijn we gaan doen als zogeheten huurbrouwer. Op loopafstand van de start, is sinds 2016 Baxbier gevestigd. Na een goed gesprek met Bax hebben we besloten om hier te gaan huurbrouwen. We maken gebruik van hun overcapaciteit, en brouwen ons eigen bier daar in volumes van 2000 – 4000 liter. Dit zijn ten alle tijden eigen recepten, door ons zelf ontwikkeld op kleine schaal.

Bottle. Color: Black, thin brown head. Aroma: Sweetish, overwhelming Speyside Whisky, some almond. Taste: Sweetish, boozy, Speysie Whisky, some almond, roasted malt in the background. Whisky is very much overwhelming. Some oak wood, hints of vanilla. Longer barrel ageing isn't always better... I'm still not a big fan of the Eggens barrel aged series. Over moderate sweet, moderate bitterness.

Bottle at home shared with Laura. Opaque dark brown to black color, small tan head. Aroma and flavor are malts, wood, cognac notes, liquor. Hmm quite nice, but hard to describe. Solid beer though. I like this one. Quite pleasant.

Bottle from a local bottle shop. Fruity Cachaça with alcohol, oak, spicy notes, vanilla from the barrel, sugary fruit. Medium sweet with a somewhat boozy finish. Quite nice provided you dig Cachaça because it's heavy on the barrel.
