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.

500ml bottle from Beergusto. Pours golden yellow with a light haze, big white head, high carbonation. Aromas of grassy hops and bready malt. Light body. Taste us quite plain, almost lager-like. Would like a bit more yeast character.

Bottle @ weekly tasting. Clear golden color, medium sized white head that leaves fair lacing. Weird aroma that has some kind of smokyness. Smoked malts used perhaps? Taste some malts, lightly smoke again and fingerpaint I used in school when I was 5 yo. Weird. You wouldn’t expect this in a blonde at all. I can see some people could like this but it’s not my thing.

Gekocht op het Brugse bierfestival 2014 en thuis geproefd op 4-02-2014. Blond bier. Schuim is rap weg, ruikt wat moutig en geroosterd, smaakt fris fruitig, wat karamel en weinig bitter, romig, het bittere stijgt naarmate men verder drinkt.

Imported from my RateBeer account as Bertinchamps Brune (by Brasserie de Bertinchamps):
Aroma: 6/10, Appearance: 3/5, Taste: 3/10, Palate: 3/5, Overall: 8/20, MyTotalScore: 2.3/5
2/II/14 - on tap @ Brugs Bierfestival - BB: n/a (2014-162) Thanks to Erwin, PriorL and Mathieu87 for sharing today's beers!
Clear dark brown beer, small fizzy creamy off-white head, little stable, bit adhesive. Aroma: coffee, burnt toast, dried fruits. MF: soft carbon, medium body. Taste: coffee incest, some rotten fruits, bit sourish. Aftertaste: mocha, coffee, overripe fruits. It's hard to describe what it is exactly, that I don't like in this beer, other than the obvious coffee flavour of which I'm no fan. But I really, really don't like this stuff.

Shards of lace from a dark tan to cream head; cola-coloured beer. Liquorice, molasses, brown Sugar, and some wood. Very sweet smell. Sligh acidity doing wonders for the liquorice overload, once in the mouth. BIt of cola - indeed; Finish shows some maltsweetness. Very spritzy carbonation, slick, not very well-bodied. Different, and as such, pleasing.

(bottle) Hazy, golden colour with a mid-sized and slightly off-white foamy head. Biscuity and quite greenish and sugary wort-like malt character with hints of grassy hops in the background. Sweet flavour, medium bodied with a soft, if not tame carbonation. Sugary malty taste with notes of biscuits, again quite green malt-character; slightly syrupy and sticky finish with just a whiff of grassy hops far in the background. Not really convincing. 14.I.14

(bottle, 50cl!) Almost clear, golden colour with a blond mid-sized foamy head. Worty and bready cara-malty aroma with notes of popcorn and a tinge of grassy hops. Sweet flavour, medium to light bodied with a tame carbonation. Slightly sugary and a bit unfermented worty malty base with notes of bread, biscuits and traces of honey; sweetish and a bit sticky sugary finish. Not convincing. 03.XII.13
