4, Rue de Bertinchamps, Gembloux, 5030, Belgium
Description
The Humblet family was in search of a site to build a new brewery & continue their tradition and long list of beers brewed by their father, Benoit Humblet.
In 2011, they discovered the farm of Bertinchamps, dating back to 1343, situated not far from Gembloux.
Although extremely old and decayed, the farm had stunning character, situated in an environment that equals its prestige. It was time for some rejuvenation and the renovation project began immediately. Almost 2 years of remarkable work and finally in March 2013 the brewing system was installed in the old barns. Ultra modern fermentation tanks of a capacity of 6.000HL, an astonishing contrast of modern technology and the farm dating back more than 7 centuries.

Imported from my RateBeer account as Bertinchamps 1348 (by Brasserie de Bertinchamps):
Aroma: 7/10, Appearance: 4/5, Taste: 6/10, Palate: 3/5, Overall: 12/20, MyTotalScore: 3.2/5
9/IV/18 - 33cl bottle bought from the brewer @ home - BB: 10/VIII/19 (2018-359)
Clear pale blond beer, small creamy white head, little stable, adhesive, leaving a nice lacing in the glass. Aroma: very malty, sweet grains, some pears, fruity touch. MF: ok carbon, medium body. Taste: very malty, grains, bit sweet, fruity touch, some banana, yeasty, little oxidized. Aftertaste: soft bitterness, sweet touch, fruity, pears and banana. Not bad. But that's pretty much about it.

Bottle. Color: Clear ruby, thick frothy stable very light brown head. Taste: Malty, moderate to medium sweet with notes of caramel and dark red fruit. Hints of liquorice, chocolate and lightly hints of yeast. Nice notes of herbal hopbitterness. Slightly above medium body, pretty soft carbonation. Smooth mouthfeel. Bittery finish. Very well balanced and with more complexity than usual for 'brune' beers. Very nice.
