Established in 1872
The brewhouse consists of three kettles from 1946 and a wort filter from 2014. The kettles are made of red copper and are “hammered” by hand into the existing shapes. The capacity is 3000 kg deposit. In the past, brews of 250 to 300 hl of lager were produced with this. Today we brew 110 hl per brew since the current beers are of a much higher density.

Mörkt rudbrun vätska med tunn skumslöja. Aromer av körsbär, källartrapp och torkade dadlar. Hög inledande maltsötma som balanseras av en fruktig och lätt bitsk syra. Allt avslutas av en källartrappig brettjäsig beska. Mycket värmande med en fyllig munkänsla och lång eftersmak.

Ein wirklich gefälliger Belgier 🇧🇪 ist dieser König Karl 👑, der hier sein Amber-also bernsteinfarbenes Gewand anzieht.
Es ist schön samtig 🦙 und karamellig im Körper, auch wenn die Süße🍦 oft stark mitspielt.
Den hohen Alkoholgehalt merkt man nicht, da es so weich ist, was es gefährlich für den nächsten Morgen macht.
Ich hätte es glatt für ein Brune gehalten, auch wenn es stark wie ein Quadrupel ist.
Aufgrund der Süffigkeit hat es mir gut gefallen.
