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.

Amber color, cloudy. Spicy aroma, ginger and anis especially. Very herbal flavor, in which ginger, anis and kruidnagel dominate. Hint of pear fruit. Thin to medium bodied. Fairly well made, but I don’t like it.

Speculaas aroma Suagry. Some roasted malt. Grapes and apple. The alcohol remains unnoticed. Thin for the style, but I didn’t expect too much from this beer. The name itself is almost a contradiction. ("Little Thumb Imperial Russian Stout")

Bottle @ LCRBM. Massive gusher. Juniper and spices in the aroma. Spicy, but also malty flavor with juniper. Too spicy for me to be enjoyable.
