Description
Brasserie Vander Linden was founded in 1895 by the Ghyssels brothers, and operated by three generations of the Vander Linden family from 1930 until closing in 2001. Brothers Jos and Omer Vander Linden were the last owners, and couldn't find a buyer for the brewery.

Vander Linden produced Duivels Bier, a spontaneously fermented sour brown ale that was very popular regionally from 1952-2001. The brand and recipe were acquired from Pêtre Freres, another Halle brewery that had closed, where it had been brewed since 1883. In 2003, Frank Boon acquired the rights to the name and continues producing it today.

In 2008, the former brewery site (Brouwerijstraat 2, 1500 Halle) was demolished and later converted to apartment buildings and parking.

How to judge a bottle that almost explodes in my kitchen? The impression is for a sweet one, virtually no hop; let's see next time...

Last time I had this, at Bier Circus in 1998, I hated it. It was so candyish. I had a 1990 vintage at Akkurat this year, and it was better. It had a rich cherry colour. The aroma was deeply fruity and woody, with a slight balsamic note. The palate was sweetish (not sweet) - nothing like the aroma. Lightly oaky, fruity, sugary, with a weird brie-like nutty note.
