Kleiburg is the beer of the Klei Monastery: a spiritual and hospitable place in the Amsterdam Bijlmer neighbourhood.

This results in very own specific beers: always recognizable and at the same time surprising.

330ml bottle. Cloudy, chestnut colour with ruby glimmer and average, fluffy, fairly lasting, moderately lasting, beige head. Slightly strange, strawy, wheaty and caramel malty aroma, a tangy touch of infection. Taste is minimally tart, dark and caramel malty, a tangy touch of gherkin and brine; maybe some pumpkin; minimally overcarbonated. I don't think everything is intentional here.

Kleiburg is the name of a microbrewery situated in the Kleiklooster, a modern monastery in Amsterdam’s well-known Bijlmer neighbourhood, and this is this brewery’s contribution to this year’s Dutch ‘bokbier’ season. Thanks to Craftmember for sharing the bottle. Very thick and frothy, papery lacing, pillowy, pale yellowish beige head, hazy bronze-brown robe with ruddy-coppery hue, the haze ‘disturbed’ by lively sparkling. Aroma of dried figs, caramel, wet hay, quite pronounced DMS (overcooked green kale), banana bread, raisin, bread pulp, orange peel and sourish moist nut shells. Estery onset, banana, plum, ripe pear, sweetish but marred by a kind of ‘dirty sourishness’ clearly hinting at infection; lively carbonation, bready and caramelly malt body, more bready in the end due to yeast residue, which accentuates an outspoken phenolic-spicy character as well. The DMS returns retronasally and the infected ‘dirtiness’ and sourishness lingers over the remains of the caramelly maltiness, with an earthy, herbal hop bitterish note to it as well as a dash of warming, rum-like alcohol. Typical top-fermented modern Dutch ‘herfstbok’ by general make-up, but technically flawed, alas.
