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 from a local bottle shop. Aroma is flowery with malt, floral hop, grain, yeast, sugary notes. Flavour is sweet with a light bitterness. Body is medium. A bit sticky and cloying. Not my favourite hop-yeast combination, weird brew. What a shame, Eggens was improving recently.

Bottle from a local bottle shop. Besides the Irish Whiskey there's notes of liquorice and cough syrup. Not usually a fan of these flavours, but they work fairly well with the barrel here.

Can from a local bottle shop. Aroma is sweetish ripe fruit with sugary orange, malt, some ripe tropical fruit, touch of pine. Flavour is on the sweet side with a mild bitterness. Medium body. Overall too sweet and lacks refreshing juiciness.

Bottle from a local bottle shop. Aroma is pretty heavy on the cognac with oak, dark malt, dried fruits, some vanilla and alcohol. Hint of chocolate. Flavour is moderate sweet with a light bitterness. Medium body with hefty carbonation that gets in the way a bit. Not the smoothest but aromatically fine.

Bottle from a local bottle shop. Very peated with dark malt, tar, some caramel, whiskey. Moderate sweet and bitter. Body is medium. Heavily peated, lacks a little complexity. Quad gets buried by the peat. Still nice, just don't expect balance.
