Description
Emile Vanhonsebrouck and his wife Louise De Poorter founded the Sint Jozef brewery in Ingelmunster. In 1922 the brothers Paul and Ernest Van Honsebrouck take over the brewery from their mother. In 1953 Luc Van Honsebrouck (son of Paul) becomes director. Luc realizes that the small Sint Jozef brewery isn't able to compete with the large pils breweries. He therefore decides to concentrate on the production of an old brown beer, naming it Bacchus, and he changes the name of the brewery to Vanhonsebrouck. The St-Louis Gueuze and Kriek were officially launched in 1958. In 2009 Xavier Vanhonsebrouck succeeds his father Luc. In 2016 the doors of the old brewery in Ingelmunster are permanently closed. The new site in Emelgem is now home to a brand new, fully integrated brewery, with the equipment to produce all of the Vanhonsebrouck beers. In the meantime Kasteel Brouwerij Vanhonsebrouck becomes the new official name.

Bottled. Pours deep golden with thin head. Sweet, yeasty aroma with boozy notes. Sweet fruity-yeasty taste with very slight hops and strong alcoholic notes. Leaves warm mouthfeel and long sweetish finish. Medium bodied and slighlty overcarbonated. Mediocre.

Bottle shared at home. Pours jet black with beige head. Nose is incredibly chocolate-y, with some coffee and earthy notes. The taste is quite similar to the aroma, but less pronounced. Medium to heavy bodied with average carbo. Delicious dessert beer.

Solid sour cherry, some light cherry pie notes and some lactic funky sourness. Good carb, nice refreshing mouth feel. Easy drinking, refreshing, yet tart with some great fruit. Impressive considering some of the swill I’ve had from these guys.

Bottle from the lcbo. Dark brown pour with a large beige head. Dark, boozy fruit cake aroma. Dark fruit, sweet bready malts. P
Mouth feel and carb are great. Low bitterness, loads of dark fruit, with some soft spice. It's Xmas in a bottle.
