Description
Grutte Pier Brouwerij is opgericht door Frans Filius en Menno Feenstra (en Michelle Beerstra) die elkaar leren kennen aan de stamtafel van speciaalbier Café de Markies in Leeuwarden. De brouwerij werd officieel geopend op 15 november 2014. Tot begin 2020 was de brouwerij alleen actief als brouwerijhuurder en werd er onder andere gebrouwen bij Bax Brouwerij in Groningen en Admiraal in Aldtserk.

In Leeuwarden was aan de Slauerhoffweg de opslag en tonnenzaal, totdat er in 2020 een eigen brouwboerderij werd ingericht in Bartlehiem. De brouwerij heeft hier de beschikking over een kleine installatie. In de Brouwboerderij worden de nieuwe bieren ontwikkeld en de wilde bieren gebrouwen zoals de Bretttûne.

Bottle from Drankenspeciaalzaak Jelle, Leeuwarden. Aroma is dark malt with strong liquorice, caramel, hint of peat, more liquorice, only mild roast. Flavour is sweet with a mild bitterness. Body is medium, feels thin for the style. Liquorice is quite dominant, too much for me, I echo the observation that this tastes more like a liquorice-heavy Quad than an Imperial Stout.

From tap at 6e Noordelijk Lentebierenfestival, Leeuwarden. Shared with ShivanDragon. Gotta agree with him on the questionable origin of this 'Eisbock'. Nonetheless, I seem to have enjoyed it a bit better, though I'm hardly a fan. Way too spicy aroma of anise and cough syrup with sticky malt and some alcohol. Very sweet flavour with some booze. Body is full and sticky. Not a great Eisbock at all, but fairly drinkable.

Bottle from Drankenspeciaalzaak Jelle, Leeuwarden. Aroma is particularly spicy yeast with thick grain, ripe fruity notes, some apricot, and plenty of spices. Flavour is medium sweet and moderate bitterbitter. Good medium plus body, has a nice thick grainy sturdiness. Pleasant Kuit.

Bottle from BiervanEijk, Frederiksoord. Aroma is lots of wood, vanilla, notes of white wine, bit grapey. Bit tart, very nice. Medium body. Good barrel blend, tastier than the original oak-aged Tripel especially due to the mild sourness.

Bottle from BiervanEijk, Frederiksoord. Very woody aroma with grape, vinous notes, some dark malt, red wine, dominated by the barrel and wood. Hint of liquorice. The base Imperial Stout seems lost... Flavour is a little vinous tartness, light sweet. Body is medium. A bit messy, total barrel takeover.

330ml can at 7.5%. Clear gold, white head, modest retention. Aroma of malt, banana, coriander, light citric notes; its fine but not too complex or fresh. Taste has a yeasty-citric and herbal element with plenty of malt and some banana esters. Its not unpleasant and has that alcohol warmth but It just tastes like its been strained through 2 week worn socks to give a touch of staleness..
