Description
Oprichter en één van de brouwmeesters van Huisbrouwerij Klein Duimpje is Erik Bouman. Hij brouwt al sinds 1996 zijn eigen bieren en in 1997 startte hij met zijn Huisbrouwerij Klein Duimpje. In 2011 wist Bouman het oude pand van een bollenkweker in Hillegom te verwerven. In de zomer van 2012 werd het proeflokaal geopend en de brouwerij in gebruik genomen. In 2013 werd de naam van de brouwerij gewijzigd van Huisbrouwerij Klein Duimpje naar Brouwerij Klein Duimpje.

Beer looks as Coca - Cola for all the world, with a very fast gone head, leaving some lace. Liquorice, tobacco, a bit smoked and faraway nutty. Tobacco taste as well, with dark smoked malts, leafy as aucuba. Retronasal tonguesides gives some more liquorice or treacle sweetness, blending seemlessly into the beer. Rather thin MF. Exception taken for the MF, quite pleasing beer, good try.

Bottle. Slightly malty aroma, a little sour. Very small hint of honey. Chestnut colour. Sourish, citric flavour. Aftertaste has a hint of honey. There is no honey in this beer, by the way. A bit acidic for me, but probably good for a short session.

Fully oil-black; typically Guinnessy, but small head. Walnutpeel, little liquorice, and hazelnut nose. Mild-sweet, not sticky, but quite aromatic taste, like aucuba leaves aroma. Candi sugar & roasted notes. Quite well bodied absolutely, but not in its style. More than than OK. Just a bit sweet and thinner than usual I.R.S.; has its merits nonetheless.

Dark amber to brown color; big head. Malt aroma, some sweetness, light spices. The taste is malty, but a bit dry in the front, sweeter later; loads of caramel, some spices. Ends more balanced.

Amber color; giant head. Strange aroma: candi, spices, dried fruits and flowers. Quite good body structure, some malt, a light sourness. Not bad, but quite odd.

Bottled. Cloudy amber, lasting head. Honay and apple aroma. Sweet and malty with some grassy hops. Soft mouthfeel. Solid and quite pleasant.

An unclear dark red-brown beer with a huge orange head. The aroma is sweet spicy with notes of oranges. The flavor is very sweet, but also slightly sour, with loads of fruit of which pineapple and oranges stand out.

A red beer with a fine lazing light brown head. The aroma is sweet yeasty with notes of roasted malt and hints of coffee. The flavor is very sweet, with loads of yeast, but also very roasted and with notes of bitter chocolate in the end.
