Description
Het verhaal van de OostEke brouwers is begonnen met een passie voor ons Belgische bier; de typische anekdote van een uit de hand gelopen hobby. Sinds 2014 zijn we begonnen onze eigen recepten te ontwikkelen en maken we moderne maar artisanale bieren, gedreven door een Belgische traditie. Sinds 2018 hebben we onze eigen ‚knuffel’ brouwerij. Een micro brouwinstallatie, een drieketel installatie met een capaciteit van 2hl per brouwsel en 8 gistingstanks. Dit geeft ons de gelegenheid om naar hartelust te kunnen spelen met verschillende smaken en recepten. En dit maakt het ook mogelijk om te brouwen op kleine volumes voor bedrijven en verenigingen.

Omdat 2hl echter een zeer beperkte hoeveelheid is om onze bieren te kunnen commercialiseren, werken wij daarnaast ook samen met een paar lokale brouwerijen die de door ons ontwikkelde recepten brouwen in batches van 20, 40 of 60hl. We zaten sindsdien niet stil. Ondertussen hebben we een aantal vaste bieren en een aantal seizoensgebonden bieren, met de nodige aandacht voor nieuwe trends in de bierwereld. Van deze bieren brengen we regelmatig ook beperkte, vatgerijpte versies op de markt.

Small yellowish head over pale yellow beer. Herbs, garden weeds, pale malts. Sweetish undefined herbs, dull hops. Bit almondy, mainly in the finish. Undercarbonated, finishing lame. Bof.

Bottle from Delhaize, Merelbeke. Lively/too much carbonation. Cloudy amber/blond colour, white foam. Nose of grapefruit, lemon peel, grass, hay. Taste is rather dry and bitter, very yeasty. A pity to use such delicate hops if you don't taste them.

Light brown colour with quick fading head. Aroma and flavour are strong with bready yeast. Starts out sweet but the dryness in the finish adds some balance. Lacks sone body and complexity given the style and high abv.

Bottle in De Bierboom, Brugge on 14th May 2018. Very sweet beer, but I liked it. Dark body, almost black, tanned head. Coffee flavours and aromas abound. Should have had this later, not at 12:00 lunchtime.

Coffee dubbel by Oosteke Brouwers, thanks tderoeck. Very thick, beige-tinged off-white, lacing, coarse head over a very dark, hazy chocolate brown beer with mahogany hue. Aroma of green coffee beans more than actual aromatic coffee, damp earth, moist caramel, cooked green cabbage (DMS) but not too overpowering, damp forest floor, fig, walnut, cold tea, apple peel. Fruity, estery onset, plum and fig notes with a dash of unripe banana, very sharply numbing overcarbonation, caramelly and bready malt body, yeasty finish with strong phenolic aspects which seem to be reinforced by that almost vegetable-like green coffee been presence, topped off with a herbal hop bitterishness and an earthy yeast aspect. Coffee stouts can be great, Belgian coffee dubbels so far do not seem to work all that good – at least not the examples I had, all suffering from off-flavours and a kind of ‘green’, vegetable-like coffee factor rather than the warming, delicate, aromatic qualities I associate with quality coffee, and a quality coffee beer. This one has a lot of room for improvement left as far as I’m concerned.

10/V/18 - 33cl bottle from De Hopduvel (Gent), shared with Alengrin @ Belgian ticks tasting (home) - BB: VIII/2019 (2018-686)

Pretty clear deep purple brown beer, big aery fizzy beige head. Aroma: very promising smell, lots of coffee, some chocolate, more coffee, roasted, green coffee beans, cocoa powder, some chlorine on warming up. MF: very lively carbon, too much to be enjoyable, medium body. Taste: little bitter, pretty roasted, very yeasty, some chlorine, malty. Aftertaste: grains, bit chemical, more chlorine, coffee, yeast, pretty unpleasant finish. Don't like this one.
