Description
De kazematten aan het Houten Paard werden gebouwd rond 1680 naar plannen van Vauban, de grote vestingingenieur van Lodewijk XIV. Deze drie unieke kazematten of soutterains maken deel uit van de 17e Eeuwse vestingen die de stad Ieper omwallen.Gedurende de eeuwen werden deze souterrains gebruikt als opslagplaats voor munitie en legermaterieel. Ze deden ook dienst als slaap- en schuilplaats voor de troepen die Ieper tijdens de vele belegeringen hebben verdedigd. Zo richtten de Britse troepen tijdens Wereldoorlog I de kazematten in als 'mess' voor de officieren. Hun commandopost, rustplaats en veldhospitaal werden in 'Hotel de Remparts', zoals de kazematten ironisch werden genoemd, ondergebracht. Ook de Britse soldatenkrant The Wipers Times werd er gedrukt. En nu is er dus een stadsbrouwerij op deze unieke locatie.

Bottle. A dense, finger-thick beige head forms over an unclear light brown body. The aroma has a bit too much banana and bubblegum, Toffee and some bread. It’s full-bodied with a faint warmth, a decent carbonation and quite dry even though there’s a light sugary touch in the flavor. Hints of dried fruits, some toffee and bread. Decent bitterness. Long finish. Not a favorite of mine this one, but there’s sure good intentions going on here. 160402

(Bottle, 0.33 l, at tiong’s tasting, thanks VastActiv, 20160109) The beer poured dark brown and nearly clear. Its head was medium sized and white. Aroma had malts, yeast and caramel. Palate was medium bodied with medium carbonation. Flavours were malts, yeast, caramel, grass and bitternes. Aftertaste was sweet and bitter. A nice Belgian brew in which the flavours were n’t too much hiding each other.
