Description
Op 1 februari 2007 openden Bart Devillé en Ann Heremans café ‘Den Herberg’. Aanvankelijk was het echter niet de bedoeling een café uit te baten. Dit idee is langzaamaan ontstaan. We kochten het gebouw in 2000 aan om er een brouwerij in op te starten. Stilaan groeide het idee om er onze ambachtelijk gebrouwen bieren ook zelf te verkopen. Ruimte was er voldoende en mits enige grondige aanpassingswerken was het café nog voor de brouwerij af. Één jaar na de opening van het café was ook de brouwerij klaar voor productie.

375 ml bottle. Pours a deep orange/copper color with light head. Aromas of stoned fruit, leather, farmyard, berries, and sharp malts. Flavors follow same with a complex softness, which I guess is the result of the 4,5,6 and 7 year lambic in the mix. Excellent .

33 cl bottle poured into a tulip. Slightly hazy amber colour with a dense, white head. Fruity aroma with brett, leather, lemons, orange peel and dry, wooden notes. The taste is bitter. Medium body, prickly carbonation. Drying tart fruity finish with a good amount of bretts. Peculiar, like the original. I like it.

Small rim over unclear orange-ochre beer, lively bubbled. Wet oakwood, horseblanket, farmyard. Lactic acid, but also a point of acetic acid. Mushrooms. Sherry-like flavour with sandalwood, horseblanket, pencil graphite, nutshells, lemon. Acidburn and -thinning, good carbonation, lipsmacking acidity. Tastes more of sherry than recently sampled sherry infused lambic. One to be tried! The lambicchoice is staggering.
