Description
An independent, family-run brewery for over 110 years. True Belgian craftsmanship. That's Haacht Brewery.
On June 14, 1898 Eugène De Ro brewed his first top fermentation beer. Four years later he also started brewing bottom fermentation beer. His beers were such a hit that ‘Haecht’s Dairy Company and Brewery’ became one of the best Belgian breweries in 1913. In the fifties and sities there were numerous small takeovers and the Haacht Brewery beers were being distributed across the entire country. Thanks to the take-overs of breweries in the south of the Netherlands and northern France, Haacht Brewery set foot ashore in neighboring countries. In 1990, Haacht Brewery started the complete replacement of its production apparatus; the whole process was completed around 2015. Today, Haacht Brewery is a state-of-the-art brewery, inspired by its history and at the same time more than ready for the future.

Dark gold, very clear, like watered-down brandy. slight white head, not persisting. Nose gives candi sugar. some fruit, as nectarines, nothing outspoken. Taste is candi sugar again, with an alcoholimpression, dried fruit (apricot). Slight, burnt sugar backthroat. No hops whatsoever. A bit empty, alcohol. No new aftertaste. If the C. bruin is the Tongerlo bruin, guess what this probably is...

Very clear red-brown, chestnut. Medium thick, creamy head, collapsing. Brown sugar and chocolate toffee in the nose. Sweet, liquorice, roasted malt, sweet coffee. Retronasal especially roasted malt. Rather refreshing mouthfeel, surprising for the style. Roasted malt, bitterish aftertaste. Inoffensive. Clone of Tongerlo 6 brown, no doubt.

Very thick head that stays around a long time. golden color I expect of a pilsener. Medium bodied. Aftertaste is a little sour. This was my session beer for several months when it was priced insanely low as a close out. I would take a Primus from a can over a Heineken in a bottle. Not bad for what it is.

A slightly cloudy orange beer with a fine very foamy head, but it disappears quite fast. It has a quity strong very nice aroma of fruit, yeast and oranges with notes of alcohol. The flavor is smooth with a good sweetness containing orange and yeast notes and ending on a slight very nice bitterness.

Ruby red color, short head. Malty aroma, bit sirupy like. Slightly alcoholic. Sweet roasted malty taste, slightly alcoholic, liquorice, sirupy. Bit bitter alcoholic palate. Belly-warming. I actually was expecting a triple, i don't know for what reason...
