Description
Sixth generation headstrong Belgian true craft and traditional brewery, established in the early 1800's and on the same exact location were we are still today since 1859! Call us stubborn. But we are still a family with strong values. We still brew all our beers ourselves. We still use the original copper kettles. And we can guarantee our quality for at least another 150 years! We're headstrong. True craft brewers. And we're from Belgium!! These beers were not made in someone's garage as a hobby. For six generations, brewing is our family's passion. We do not follow hypes. We stay true to the craft. Without compromises on quality. And in this respect, you can call us stubborn.

Golden colour, bright, generous head. Nothing to notice in the aroma, few in the taste: good body strength with some nice malt in the beginning and a correct bitterness equilibrium in the end; poor hop character.

Never had a fresh one - this rating is for a 13 year old vintage. Mahogany colour; thick, chewy, deeply malty nose (at this age not a surprise); full warm body, fruit in the background but prominent caramel malts are the key. Probably several years past its best.
