Description
The “Struise” concept is based on creativity, innovation, quality, sustainability and friendship. We started developing beers anno 2001, at a holiday resort in the village of Lo-Reninge, in a small barn at an ostrich farm called “De Noordhoek”. The first beer we ever developed there, was an Old Style wheat-beer, called “Struise Witte”. The name “Struise” is taken from Flemish slang for ostrich. Our brewery coat of arms takes it a step further and features a proud ostrich amongst knight’s helmet, shield and feathers.
Back in 2003 we decided to go commercial with our latest creation, a Belgian Dark Strong Ale called “Pannepot”. Not with an own installation, for that we did not have the money yet, however, we proceeded as gipsy brewers. First at the Coulier Brewery and later at the nearby Deca Brewery in Woesten / Vleteren. In 2009, we moved to a school facility in the village of Oostvleteren, and where we’ve been brewing our beers independently since 2012.

Tasting at Sam's in Chapel Hill. Cheers!

Dense, shiny, dark black pour.
Heavy plum, brown sugar, nice acidy nose.
Heavy black tea with lemon & aperitif, slight soot, lovely acid, lingering lemon, great earth.
Mellow to low carb, who cares, this is great.

Hetkel see 13 voli hitib kuidagi väga õigesti 25 vms kraadiga. Magus, mõru, šokolaad, kohv, röst, viski, kerge port. Hea.

Celebrando los 47'43 de Abril. Quizá debería haber elegido algo más 'ligero', el calor de mediados de Julio me pide trago largo y refrescante, pero la ocasión era lo suficientemente significativa como para echar la casa por la ventana con un peso pesado.

Luce un bonito color castaño oscuro, con algun que otro reflejo ligeramente más claro, naturalmente opaca, ya al servirla me he esmerado en escanciarla acabando en cascada, procurando así obtener una espuma lo más copiosa posible, definitivamente esa espuma ni ha sido abundante ni ha durado mucho, pero el poco tiempo que ha estado ahi me ha alegrado la vista, beige, fina, espesa... En nariz, lleva ya un rato servida, pero yo diría que aun sigue evolucionando, fruta pasificada, ciruelas pasas, higos secos, caramelo, azúcar quemado, licor...un licor que hace de hilo conductor de sensaciones, tanto olfativas como gustativas. Y de fondo cierto toque agrio. En boca muy sedosa, carbonatación muy ligera, oleosa, cálida, profunda, compleja sin llegar a abrumar, ciertamente posee un trago que si bien es complejo no es excesivamente agresivo, permite la reflexión en calma de sus virtudes sin atosigar el paladar al segundo o tercer sorbo.

Aus der Flasche (bottled 17.07.2024/bbe 17.07.2029) im 2025-06 getrunken. Eine echt spannende Interpretation eine sehr klassischen Bierstil. Der Roggeneinfluß und der Einfluss von Ostfladern wo Struise braut, bringt eine feine Frucht und ist das eine Robustasäure ins Glas. Auf hohe 10% hätte ich blind nie getippt. Ein tolles Bier!

Aus der Flasche (bottled 13.06.2024/bbe 13.06.2034) im 2025-06 getrunken. Bei diesem rote Ale mit kräftigen Kirsch-Aromen und auch Säure zeigt sich auch die lange Reifung im Rotweinfass. Sehr klassisch und lecker!
