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.

Slightly hazy yellow color, short white head. Weak aroma of grain, spice. Dry taste, slightly alcoholic maybe. Unimpressive brew.

An amber beer with a small disappearing orange head. The aroma is sweet and totally dominated by yeast though it also has weak hints of fruit and honey. The flavor is very sweet with notes of fruit, yeast, coriander, and other spices - before a dry end sets in.

An orange beer with a small disappearing head. The aroma is sour from citrus and wheat combined with hints of caramel. The flavor is as the aroma but without the caramel.

A red beer with sediment floating around and a beige head. The aroma is sweet with notes of oranges and honey. The flavor is boring with notes of oranges. It is rather carbonated and has a thin body. It would not categorize this as a porter - inspite of the name.

6.1/10 Appearance 10 Aroma 5 Flavor 6 Texture 6 Overall 5.5
Amber color; thick head. Simple aroma, with some vanilla and caramel. Peculiar flavor, with a touch of roasted malt, smoked malt and nuts; a bit harsh. Too strong ending bitterness (burnt sugar). Not bad, but odd…

7.1/10 Appearance 10 Aroma 6 Flavor 7 Texture 8 Overall 6.5
Amber color; creamy head. Delicate aroma, dominated by the vanilla. Quite good malty taste, with strong caramel character and decent hopping. Probably not a Porter, but the most enjoyable of this series of 3 Duimpje’s.
