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.

Golden colour, white head. Aroma of candy, light spicy, banana. Yep, it’s a triple allright. Quite sweet malty flavour, banana and candy. Dito finish. Decent triple, but I’m kinda bored by all those breweries that make a blonde -check-, triple -check- and dubbel -nope, but wouldn’t surprise me if they’re developing one. It would be nice to see this brewer using his efforts to make something more interesting. Nothing wrong with the quality here so I’d be curious to that result.

50 cl. bottle sampled @ GBF 2013. Light citrus orange with a white head. Nose is white pepper, esters, small fishes, fish guts and a huge almost DE banana profile. Taste is big on sticky DE banana in a bad way, very sweet, candy sugar, light white pepper, almost corn sweetness, thick sticky malts. Sticky candy sugar syrup body. Quite a disappointment considering how good the triple was. Thx! to the RB Crew for sharing.
