Houten Paard 1, Ieper, 8900, Belgium
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.

Aroma of fruits, peppery spices, coriander (?), bread, floral notes, yeast. Flavour is bready and spicy, medium sweet, with a bittersweet finish. Okay and drinkable, but not very memorable.

Huge, ultra-dense & fine yellowish head over very carbonated, veiled orange-golden beer, lacey. Spicy nose (dense head seriously hampers pronasal perception). I seem to get coriander. White candi sugar, preserved citrus and fake citrus. Sweet and coriander, citrus-y. In the finish and aftertaste, there is caramel, banana, white bread. Quite creamy-slick, due to the spicing and carbonation. Coriandersoup. They keep brewing it, it's hopeless.
