Description
Op zijn zeventiende vertrok Ramses Snoeij naar zijn vader in Amerika. Rond 1990 werd daar het eerste Ramses Bier gebrouwen in Oregon, aan de westkust van de Verenigde Staten. Na zijn terugkeer in Nederland koos hij in 2007 ervoor zijn brouwhobby commercieel aan te pakken. Zijn eerste commerciële brouwsel was Willem Bever dat in 2007 werd geïntroduceerd. De bieren van Ramses Bier werden aanvankelijk gebrouwen met behulp van de brouwfaciliteiten van Bierbrouwerij De 3 Horne in Kaatsheuvel. Hier werden brouwsels gebrouwen van 700-800 liter. De proefbrouwsels werden in Wagenberg gebrouwen en hadden een volume van 50-60 liter. In februari 2013 werd een eigen bedrijfsruimte opgeleverd met een nieuwe brouwinstallatie die een brouwcapaciteit van 1.500 liter heeft.

0.33 l bottle from 'Het Biermoment', best before November 2021, cellared for almost one-and-a-half years. Clear, very dark ruby to black with a few beige bubbles on top of it. Sweetish, malty, slightly smoky aroma of caramel, chocolate, coffee and a touch of smoked ham. Fairly sweet, malty, moderately bitter, gently bitter taste of caramel, dark chocolate, licorice, coffee, some tar, a touch of smoked ham and traces of dark fruits, followed by a medium long, gently roasty-bitter, slightly boozy finish. Medium body, watery to oily mouthfeel, flat. Pleasant beer but nowhere near the original or the version brewed at 'De Molen'.

33 cl. bottle @ home, bought @ Wijn&Verwonderen, Culemborg. Clear dark brown to black with a thin beige head. Molasses aroma with some gentle hops. A little chocolate and dark fruits as well. Sweet taste with a smooth long lasting finish. Strange but very tasty beer, tastes to me like a cross between a barley wine, a stout and a Belgian strong dark ale. Very well done.

Smooth and fruity beginning. Spicy parts, moderate sweetish with a nice fruity finish. Not too sticky, the 11% are not tasteable, fruity and slightly sweetish grainy ending. Fantastic!

Röstig malziger Beginn, weich, moderat hopfig. Trocken, steigend malzig, der eh milde Hopfen verliert weiter an Bedeutung. Nett. 5/8/9/9//8
