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.

Flesje gekregen van Tomhendriksen.
Diep donkerbruin tot zwart bier met matig schuim dat snel wegtrekt.
Aroma en smaak van koffie.
Deze koffiesmaak blijft wel lekker hangen.

Near clear deep amber beer, good bubbly pale tan colour head. Airy palate, mildly dry, decent fine carbonation. Airy palate, semi dry, decent fine minerally carbonation. Light malts, a light and tangy caramel flavour. Good whiskey barrel, mild oak induced vanilla. Soft peaty whiskey, soft ripe fruits
Mild spice on the light and semi dry finish. Peaty, but not overly so even though this barleywine totally serves its barrel.

A 33 cl bottle suggested by Smaakhuis. My first beer from the brewery and the first wax-dipped bottle I've seen in some time, just saying. For this tasting I have my Chimay glass ready. The body is a dark mahogany brown carrying a light skim of fawn tan foam. I smell dried fruit, grain, earth and a hint of booze. The drink is, well, interesting. Baked bread, dried plums, the rum comes through, cardboard and black raspberries. More bitter than sweet and not a lot of either. I think the sensation is full, perhaps the beer's strongest feature. Not up to the level I had anticipated but a decent quadrupel.

Bottle from a local bottle shop. Peated whiskey with dark malt, tar and ash. Moderate sweet with a little alcohol in the finish. Pretty smooth and soft mouthfeel, above medium body. Good.

330ml can. Hazy, orange, dark golden colour with average to huge, frothy, osteoporosing, minimally lacing, white head. Citrusy and tropical fruity, slightly resinous, hoppy aroma, oaty and wheaty malty background, notes of mango, hints of orange, mandarine, a touch of hemp, moss, oat flakes, whiffs of alcohol. Taste is slightly tropical and citrusy fruity hoppy, papery, grainy, malty basis with low residual sweetness, notes of oat flakes, diluted hints of mandarine, mango, orange; minimally alcoholic finish.
Watery and almost "crumbly" texture, slightly dry, papery palate, medium, soft carbonation.
Quite oaty, more "crumbly" than creamy, not overly fruity - a bit flawed.
