Description
Kleiburg is the beer of the Klei Monastery: a spiritual and hospitable place in the Amsterdam Bijlmer neighbourhood. We are a social enterprise and are inspired by traditional Belgian monastery beers and give it an innovative twist. This results in very own specific beers: always recognizable and at the same time surprising.

Sample glass @ Alex and Suus as Kleiburg Dubbelblond (7,3%). Pours amber with a thin white head. Yeasty aroma with a hint of smoke. Taste is medium bitter with some earth tones. Rather strange beer.

33 cl. bottle @ home, bought @ W. van Schaik, Vianen. Dark amber with a white head. Heavy hop aroma with some malty caramel. Taste is rather sweet with a bitter undertone and finish. Maybe not the best example of an imperial IPA but I guess that wasn't even the intention of the brewer. As a tripel/IPA hybrid this beer is satisfying enough.

On tap at De Proefzaak. Murky deep dark brown colour, beige head. Aroma of wood, alcohol, oak, dark fruits, malty, some vanilla. Flavour is malty, sweet, dark fruits, oak, light vanilla, didn't get any peat but I'm not sure if they also used Islay whisky for this year's version, soft bitterness. Full bodied, a bit alcoholic but certainly quite tasty. Good.

On tap at De Proefzaak. Murky orange-amber colour, thin white head. Aroma of some ginger, some caramel, orange, sweet and fruity. Flavour is light malty, fruity, sweet, lots of ginger heat, quite sharp and hot, ginger in the finish. Light bodied. I like ginger, but this was a bit too hot, without the refreshing qualities of ginger.
