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.

Barrel ageing quads is a bit trickier than your average heavy stout, requires more nuance. For me, this particular one hasn't worked too well. The bourbon is there, and there are some Belgiany flavours, but mostly one thin boozy bourbon bomb. Not for me.

0,33 l bottle from Wijnalda, Haren. A darkest red brown in the glass, nearly black. Smallest head. Intensive fruity, cherry, plums, some whisky on the nose. Smooth. Taste starts with malt and choco, low whisky, again very smooth. Fruity alcoholic but not burning, sweet, silky at the palate. Little bit boozy in the aftertaste. Grrrreat stuff!

Can. Pours cloudy very dark brown with barely any head. Clear aroma of vine and yeast, with cardboard touches and malty hints. Bitter flavour of hops, roast, and alcohol, with notes of malt and dried fruit. Roasty and malty aftertaste, with papery touches. Warming alcohol presence. Decent, but rather boozy.

Can, 11%. Papery and vinous aroma, quite weak for the ABV. Black colour. Big stable light brown head. The flavour is roasted and bready with a rather distinct alcohol bitterness. Bready and bitter finish.

33cl Blik van van Erp. Zwarte kleur, beige kraag. Inkt, wat gebrande mout, veel drop zonder laurier, vrij harde smaken, wat caramel, bitter maar niet op een heel prettige manier, mist echt body en diepgang. Medium body.
