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.

(Bottle 33 cl) Pours a hazy, deep golden with lots of impurities and a creamy, white head leaving laces. Aroma of fruit, alcohol and diacetyl. Solid body with a heavy alcohol presence and a high degree of sweetness. Soft, malty notes and a certain fruitiness. Almost no bitterness though. 040207

Sampled from an 11.2 oz brown bottle this beer poured a ruby chestnut color with a huge brown head. The aroma was a savory mix of raisins and brown sugar. The flavor was tangy and sweet with elements of raisins, molasses, brown sugar and vague ripened fruits. The finish is fruity with a lingering malty molasses note. Very nice.

Sampled from an 11.2 oz brown bottle this beer poured a bright golden color with lots of floaters and a huge yellow-white head that lingers. The aroma is sweet, yeasty and fruity with a bit of an underlying alcohol burn. The flavor is bitter, bready and fruity with a moderate alcohol burn. Tasty but nothing to seek out.
