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.

Brewed in honour of an historical figure and inhabitant of Haarlem. Pours a clear orange/golden with a big white head. Aroma of malts, citrus fruits, honey. Flavour is fruity and honey sweetness. Rather thin body and high carbonation reminded me of a soft drink. Drinkable and refreshing, but not anywhere near as impressive as the "Sterck wijf" that the name refers to.

Aroma of fruits, funky brett, malt, herbs. Flavour is light tart, medium sweetness. Huh, there’s 10.5% in this? A bit overcarbonated, huge gusher. Not a great Wild Ale but enjoyable enough.

Aroma of roasted malt, dark chocolate, coffee, a little liquorice. Flavour is roasty, chocolate, coffee, a little sweetness. Quite full and well-balanced.I love me a Russian Imperial Stout and this one delivered, especially noticeable because Klein Duimpje has been hit and miss for me in the past.

Aroma of roasted malts, sweet malts, coffee, chocolate, espresso, mocha. Flavour is roasty, coffee, moderate sweetness, with a roasty finish. Nice, but could be a bit more full-flavoured and well, more "Xtreme".

Aroma of dark malt, smoke, caramel, some chocolate. Flavour is light to moderate sweet with a moderate to medium bitter finish. Body is a bit on the thin side, but not detrimental. Enjoyable Smoked Porter.

Aroma of lightly roasted malt, hint of chocolate, hint of sourish coffee. Flavour is moderate sweet and moderate bitter. Way too light body, watery stuff. Not much of an Oatmeal Stout.
