About
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.

Dans le cochon...tout est bon disait Alphonse Allais. Sur cette Rince Cochon, je reste toutefois sur ma soif. Cela n'est pas catastrophique et cette bière se laisse boire, mais celle-ci reste à la fois très banale et surtout plate. Le visuel est sur un blond parfaitement limpide quasiment sans mousse. Le nez est sur le miel, les céréales avec une touche de pomme et de citron. L'ensemble manque de caractère. Une pointe de girofle et un alcool essayant de tonifier la bière améliore l'ensemble tout de même à la dégustation, mais cela reste insuffisant, notamment en ce qui concerne les 8,5 %. Complexité et relief font défauts. L'attaque va piano en intensité et densité mais présente des arômes acceptables. En seconde bouche l'alcool pointe le bout de son nez mais sans réussir à contrebalancer une petite douceur ambiante. L'arrière bouche est légèrement plus racée…bien que cela reste somme toute relatif. Le final est pareillement un peu plus sur l'alcool, mais sans réelle envolée. Pas convainquant.

Bottle from Beer 52. Dark fruit and raisins in a modest nose. Pours a deep rich ruby red (almost brown) with a cream coloured head and good lacing. In the mouth it’s the fruitness that catches the attention, plums, dates and over-ripe pears. But there is also malts, chocolate and spices that come through later. Finish is mainly fruity. Excellent beer – one of the best dubbels I’ve had.

Bottle. Color: Reddish brown, yellow-ish white head. Aroma: Malty, hoppy, fruity and caramel notes. Taste: Malty with subtle caramel and fruity notes of red and dark fruit. Moderate sweet, very lightly sour and light bitterness. Some more hopbitterness and citrus hop notes at the dry finish. Medium body, average carbonation. Not bad at all, actually I kinda like it although it's not that complex.

Bière 33 cl. Robe brune, belle mousse crémeuse, abondante, persistante. Nez sur des notes de vin, porto, roche, sucré. Bouche boisée, maltée, notes de noisette. Pas mal du tout. (M)

Pours clear blonde, medium white head. Smell is crisp, malty, but hardly natural. Taste is sharp, bitter, malty, rather chemical. Sweet backbone, easy drinkin. Like a belgian ale with low to no esters. OK at best.

Fles thuis geprobeerd. Het is een helder amberkleurig bier met een medium beige schuimkraag. Het aroma is moutig en gistachtig. De smaak is moutig en licht hoppig.
