Description
We’re a small Belgian brewery on the grounds of a four-generation-old family restaurant in Damme. We brew classic Belgian styles with a twist, as well as international styles not common in Belgium.

In 2022, we decided to join forces with Hedonis Brewery and start a new brewing site in Michelbeke, in the heart of the Flemish Ardennes.

(Keg at One Pint Pub, 20161216) The beer poured black. Its head was medium sized and lightly brown. Aroma had cocoa, dark chocolate and creamy coffee. Palate was full bodied with medium carbonation. Flavours were coffee, burnt malts, ash, sweetness and bitterness. Aftertaste was ashy and bitter. A brew with good aroma but too burnt finish.

pours unclear blonde, extremely big white head. Smell is bit spiced. Some lemon features. mild bitterness. Taste is bitter, intense, overcarbonated as fuck. Some lemons, decently yeasty (saison yeast). Ok beer in general, just way to damn much carbonation.

Pours unclear dark amber. Good to big white head. Smell is weak, mild bitterness. Some yeast. Taste is bit bitter, very malty , aromatic ambermalts. Very mild hoparoma. Really, really weak on the hops. if I base myself on this description, currently on ratebeer, i am bound to be let down. Selling it as a IPA is kinda dumb. I totally agree Belgium has much progress to be made, but there are some IPA’s out there, far more hoppy, better IPA’s than this. It’s an above average amber ale of very good quality, but not an IPA at all. nice drinkin’ beer nevetheless. i enjoy the body and the carbo. Just needs about 5 times the intensity of hops to make scense as an IPA
