Description
Als onafhankelijke familiebrouwerij genieten we al sinds 1825 van onze vrijheid. De vrijheid om onze eigen koers te varen en alleen te doen wat goed voelt. De vrijheid om de smaak van bier niet af te vlakken, maar te verrijken en continu te zoeken naar vernieuwende smaken. Die vrijheid ervaren wij al 8 generaties en dat proef je terug in onze 16 speciaalbieren. We hebben een sterke band met onze omgeving en zijn graag van waarde voor de wereld om ons heen. Daarom brouwen we bier met water uit eigen bronnen, gebruiken we hop uit eigen hoptuin en komt onze gerst van boeren uit de regio. Dit alles houdt onze ‘voetafdruk’ laag en maakt Gulpener tegelijkertijd tot het enige echte bier van Nederlands bodem.

Onze hop komt ook uit de regio. In Reijmerstok, een dorpje op steenworpafstand van de brouwerij, verbouwt familie Wouters volledig milieuvriendelijk drie hopsoorten die onmisbaar zijn voor onze bieren. Het oogsten van de prachtige hopbellen is elk jaar weer een bijzonder moment. Samen met familie en vrienden van de brouwerij oogsten we dan niet alleen onze hop, de basis van onze karaktervolle bieren, we vieren ook het feit dat we vrij zijn. Vrij om onze eigen koers te varen en alleen te doen wat goed voelt.

Drunk after finishing the cabinet for the M-Plex, at the end of a long day. Enjoyed with my home grown raspberries in tart form. Dark brown, biscuit nose, hint of raisins and fruit. Very smooth, chewy plummy jammy goodness, just a hint of brandy. Excellent smooth, mildly rich flavor.

Bottle at home. Opaque brown color, average sized beige head. Aroma and flavor are malts, cognac clearly, a bit sweetish notes with a slight hint of raisins, but way less than I expected. Quite nice this one.

Bottle shared at home with Joen and Laura. Dark red-purple-brown color, small off-white head. Aroma is malts, rum, raisins, sweet. Flavor is similar, with loads of rum and raisins and sweetish notes. Quite nice actually, even though its fairly thin bodied.

Bottle drunk watching Dune 2 on a Strohwitwer evening. Dark brown, thin head, yeasty-bready caramel nose with definite rum notes. Rich and smooth, not too hot with alcohol, this is a prima dessert beer! Great job with this cask.
