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.

Bottle at home. Aroma of grainy malt, rye, fruity notes, orange, yeast, some sugary notes. Flavour is medium sweet with a light bittersweet finish. Slightly boozy aftertaste. Body is medium. Definitely a nice grainy rye orange Tripel.

Bottle at home. Aroma of yeast, bready malt, hay, citrus, some orange, hops. Flavour is light sweet with a moderate to medium dry bitter finish. Body is medium, overcarbonated like most Klein Duimpje brews. Despite that small flaw, this is a lovely citrus hoppy Blonde Ale.

Bottle at home. Aroma of dark malt, some roast, chocolate, coffee, mocha, some liquorice, subtle notes of dark fruits and blackberries. Flavour is moderate sweet. Body is medium. Well, this is not particularly sweet or milky and while the blackberry is there, it is rather subtle. On the other hand there is plenty of chocolate, mocha, dark malt to enjoy, so who am I to complain?

Bottle at home. Aroma of malt, dried fruits, bread, sugar, spicy notes, clove, caramel, some alcohol, toffee, ripe apples, marzipan, some hoppy notes. Flavour is medium to heavy sweet. Body is medium to full. Quite sweet and a bit boozy, but also fruity and slightly hoppy. Has some complexity and finesse. Better than I anticipated.

Bottle at home. Aroma is roasted malt, coffee, espresso, touch of hops and dark fruits, hint of dark chocolate and salty liquorice. Flavour is light sweet and above moderate roasty bitter. Body is medium. Could be a bit fuller I guess, but I dig the roasty coffee aroma.

Bottle from a local bottle shop. Aroma is lots of honey, biscuity malt, caramel, ripe fruits, slight touch of hops, orange, floral notes. Flavour is sweet honey with a light bitterness in the finish. Body is medium. I’m not generally a fan of honey in beer, so I’m hardly the ’target audience’. Overall this is too candied and sweet for my taste.

Bottle from Speciaalbierpakket. Took a while to pour because of the huge foam. Aroma is softly hopped with biscuity malt and mild fruits. Flavour is light to moderate sweet and moderate bitter. Body is light to medium. Not much of a Session IPA, the hop profile is mild. This is more like a Golden/Blond Ale. Anyway, it's certainly drinkable but won't win any awards.

Bottle from Sterk Amsterdam. Disclaimer on the bottle says "Mildere pepers, meer balans!" Looks like they switched habanero for chipotle (jalapeño). Aroma is dark malt with spicy chili, green peppers, caramel, touch of chocolate and roast. Flavour is medium sweet and light bitter with a pleasant chili burn. Body is above medium. I wish I could have tried the habanero version as well, but this one probably works much better.
