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Bottle (well out of date) from Cask Beer Oasis, Crewe. Bit of a weird one this. Pours a murky reddish brown – OK. But the head on what I poured was cream and fair-sized but transient. A few minutes later I noticed that what was left in the bottle had slowly generated an enormous head and was now coming out the top ! Anyway, the aroma has malts, molasses and nuts. In the mouth it is sweet and malty but with some lingering bitterness underneath. Flavours of dried fruits, redcurrants, malts and yeast. Finish is slightly dry, with hints of red wine. Decent enough.

Bottle from Great Grog. Clear ruby/brown body with a massive off-white head. Steady carbonation. Faint lacing. Aroma of tea and red apple. Flavour of crisp red apple, bread and brown sugar. Medium body with a frothy mouthfeel. Very fizzy. This has an interesting sourness to it that sets it apart from other Dubbels.
