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.

Bottle from Yamaya. Big surprise. Malty, slightly sugary nose, orange estery, light lemony hops, bit of over-ripe fruits. Yeasty, malty flavor, very estery, somehat heavy. Strange bitterness in there as well. Rather juicy. Not terrible, but a bit heavy and muddled. Somewhat boozy too.
