Description
Brouwerij De Smedt werd opgericht omstreeks 1790. Tussen 2000 en 2003 werd ze stapsgewijs door Heineken overgenomen, wat resulteerde in een naamsverandering in Affligem Brouwerij. Op 1 mei 2010 werd het vennootschap "Affligem Brouwerij BDS" opgeheven en werd het een onderdeel van Alken-Maes c.q. Heineken België. Vandaag is de brouwerij in Opwijk vooral het kennis- en brouwcentrum voor alle Affligembieren.

Bottle form local AH XL supermarket. Color: Dark ruby, beige head. Aroma: Roasted malt, chocolate, caramel, dark fruit. Taste: Brut, champagne-yeast combined with roasted malt, chocolate notes, caramel and dark dried fruit. Moderate to over moderate sweet and bitter. Medium body, just above average carbonation. Nice complexity, not your average beer. A Brut Belgian Strong Dark... Enjoyable.
