Description
The Brasserie d'Ecaussinnes was founded in 1999 by the Bruges couple Isabel & Hugues van Poucke. In 2012 the Chinese importer Xiaoning Yu bought the Brasserie d'Ecaussinnes from the Van Poucke's. Together with his friend and beer aficionado Michel Simon, he decided to invest in the former Brasserie d’Ecaussinnes. Substantive work was done to update the production and refresh the image of the brewery. In 2014, the introduction of a new team gave a young and modern dynamic to the brewery and the name was changed into Brasserie Scåssenes. In 2015, the brewery launched its own revolution….the 1830.

In 2020 after years of setbacks (the existing installations of the brewery turned out to be too old or too large; while co-investor Michel Simon left the firm) a new manager was appointed to put things in order. Brewmaster Jerôme, a medical biologist, keeps an eye on the fully automated brewing process.

Helder donkerbruin bier met weinig schuim. Smaak is zoet en krachtig, warm en vol van chocolade, toffee en karamel overheerst. Erg goed.

Bottle. nicely tart raspberry nose. Sweet candy raspberry flavor, too syrupy and cloying. Not very nice.

Bouteille(750ml): Reddish-amber coloured, hazy, some floaties visible, small off-white foamy layer; sweetish caramelly nose with distinctive plummy-fruity traces and almost solid nutty aromas; solid sweet flavour, very mild bitterness, medium bodied, fortunately not sticky; sweet fruity finish, balancing bitterness hardly detectable. Not too bad, but too sweet for me…

33 cl. shared bottle, poured in to a Flute. Hazy, red-brown colour with a dense, pink-ish head. Sweet aroma with raspberries, strawberries, caramel malts, only a subtle, acidic note. Taste is sweet. Medium body with a lively carbonation and a creamy texture. Finishes sweet and fruity with raspberries. Rather sweet Fruit Beer, albeit not unpleasant.
