Description
The brewery Slaghmuylder was founded in 1860 by Emmanuel Slaghmuylder. Around the turn of the century his son Ernest took over the company. He married Marie Van Roy, daughter of a brewer family of Wieze. His three sons opened a new brewery in 1926 which could start immediately with the new brewing process for lager beer. During the war of 1940-1945 brewing restarted for high-fermentation ales. It is only in1958 that the brewery started again with the production of low-fermentation beers. In the mid sixties the three brothers were succeeded by their sons. From 1979 on, the three nephews started brewing the Witkap Pater beers on request of brewery "De Drie Linden" from Brasschaat. In 1981 the Witkap Pater brand was officially taken over by Slaghmuylder. Beginning of theeighties the brewery was equipped with separate fermentation and layering cellars for both high and low fermentation beers. Brewery Slaghmuylder remains a unique family company that builds on a rich tradition.

A fairly good tripel. Some bitterness and nice fruityness. Light yellow in color with a lasting white head.

July 2008: Oh dear, Tim Webb describes it as possibly the best Pilsner brewed in Belgium. My findings are very diferent. He claims 6%, I claim 5.2%. Choosen from the huge beer list at Cafe Botteltje in Ostend. My beer was out of date and this is not for ageing obvisously, as it was almost undrinkable. OK, only a sado like me would have finished it. A dull old gold colour, with a white head, so it looked OK. The 33cl brown bottle gave off a citrus smell and the beer looked fizzy, please read on. The beer from the list I had before this one, was a murky sludge (an out of date ’Lam Gods’). This beer had the aroma and taste of a lemon cleaning liquid, which came in handy the next day as I cleared up after the sludge fell out of me. A beer that smells and tastes like a toilet block isn’t my normal drink, but you only live once, don’t you?

Drank at the 2007 Zythos fest. Ruby, port red colour with a biege foaming head. Sweet caramel, burnt malts, some yeast esters as well. The taste was a let down, a weak blend of yeast and off fruits and sweetness throughout. The watery aftertaste ruined the beer for me, some hop flavours tried to come out, but almost failed. A big let down for me.

Tasted at the 2007 Zythos fest. Light blonde, this beer is classed as a Czech Pilsner on BA, which I suppose isn’t far wrong. A slight hazy body under a thin white head. Yeast and some malt flavours can be detected in the aroma, but no overpowering smell. Clean, even though cloudy in appearance and fairly crisp, a bit sweet and yeasty. Hops and yeast aftertaste. I would have another.

(bottle, 33cl) Hazy, reddish brown colour with a beige-brown massive foamy head. Slightly vinous grape- and berry-fruity aroma with mildly toasted and slightly leathery malty notes, accompanied by a touch of chocolate. Moderately sweet flavour with a rounded level of bitterness, medium bodied with a moderate carbonation. Delicately toasted malty taste with notes of chocolate, caramel and a mildly fruity blend; sweet-bitter malt-accented, slightly fruity finish, again with notes of chocolate. Not a taste-bomb but a very balanced Dubbel. Recommended. 03.IV.12

33cl bottle, BB Feb 2013. Dorée trouble, col blanc. Arôme houblonné citronné sur un bouquet fleuri et qcq épices, maïs. En bouche, amertume est léger, une certaine douceur se note venant peut être du maïs, le tout restant sec et épicé, reste néanmoins assez métallique sur ce profile malt/grains poudreux. Épice reste minime une épice typique de la région selon l’étiquette, coriandre peut être,

June 2010: 33cl Brown bottle, poured into a ’Corsendonk’ stemmed tulip glass. Very pale gold, light blonde almost. A huge snowy white foaming head sat on top of the highly carbonated body. The smells were a little on the sweet side, with some cereals to calm it down a bit. The initial taste was also fairly sweet for this style, but to be fair a drier aftertaste did appear as the mouth got used to the beer. The alcohol was evident from the first sip, a trait I’m not too keen on, and the bodyfeel was let down somewhat because of this. Overall an average Belgian Blonde.
