Description
110 years of Contreras in a 190 year old brewery. In 1818 Brewery Latte was founded as a typical farm-brewery. In the second half of the 19th century the company was led by Valère Latte who sold the brewery in 1898 to René Contreras. In 1920 René Contreras chose to sell his brewery to his nephew Marcel Contreras. it was Marcel who would transform the brewery into a modern 20th century company. He shaped the buildings as they currently still remain. In 1982 Marcel's son Willy became the sole manager of the brewery. At the start of the 21st century Ann Contreras, the only daughter of Willy Contreras, and her fiancée Frederik De Vrieze gradually took over the daily management of the brewery.

330 ml bottle. Clear, deep ruby red body with a big, lacing off-white head. Nice aroma of chocolate malt with a hit of dark fruit and yeast. Flavor is smooth, crisp dark malt, mild chocolate and moderate bitterness. Very smooth and balanced. Nice body with a fine balanced aftertaste. Tasty, smooth and pleasant all the way.

Ambar amarillenta, turbia. Aspecto de tripel con espuma efervescente blanca poco duradera. Bastante aromática, frutal. Melocoton. Lo mantiene en boca. Frutal y cremosa al principio. Con una base malteada muy agradable pero bien lupulada. Evolución hacia final carbonico, con aire de cava, seco y bastante amargo, aunque manteniéndo el recuerdo frutal, de melocoton. Bastante buena, especie de tripel afrutada.
