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.

Hazy yellow with a head of white. The aroma is spicy with touches of anise added to a typical Belgian funkyness. The flavor was mildly sweet with a dry hop finish. The palate was very light, almost watery, but there is enough flavor and aroma to make this one interesting.

(Bottled, Akkurat, Stockholm, 18 July) Colour is dark brown with ruby hints, almost opaque, with a firm beige head. Nose is malty with chocolate notes. A bit shy, actually. Taste is malty with notes of chocolate fudge, marzipan and some blackberries. Smooth mouthfeel. Nicely balanced but lacking something extra in my opinion. Good beer though.

(Draught at Akkurat, stockholm) Colour is straw yellow, with a frothy lasting head. Nose is fruity, yeasty and spicy with hints of lemon peel. Taste is fruity and spicy (can’t put my finger on any particular spice though) with hints of citrus. Balanced sweetness and balanced bitterness in the finish. Very good.

Bottled (as Drongens Plezierke). Dark brown/rubyish colour with small beige head. Aroma is malts, hops and some acidic fruits. Flavour has some bubblegu, in it along with the fruits. Quite different brew, but the bubblegummyness takes the flavour down a bit.

Bottle. Golden beer with a huge white head. Green apple, citrus, and yeasty spiceiness in the aroma. Great complex flavor with nothing overpowering: malt, yeast, spice, lemon, floral, slight alcohol, clove... Fades into a well-rounded profile. Subtle and easy drinking

Bottle. Nice fruity and malty aroma. The flavour is also nice and malty, but a bit thin. Dark brown colour, small stable light brown head. Has some rather big floaties. Nice, but too anonymous.

33cl bottle. Very dark brown with ruby edges and lasting beige head. Yeast, raisins, and choc bit of toast as well. Bit too carbonated in mouth with some syrupy intense dark red fruits . Finish really is an extension of the previous flavours with some hoppiness in evidence. Quite pleasing on the nose, but could do with a more pronounced finish. Good fruitiness though. A pleasing beer.

Bottled as "Drongers Plezierke", alc. 7.6% (BB 10/2007)
Almost opaque dark brown, good tan head. Lemony hoppy nose. Grassy hoppy, lemony, a bit sweet flavor. Alcohol is very well hidden. Carbonated, a bit barnyardish and even a bit roasted malty flavor. Interesting brew. (6/4/8/3/13 3.4)
Re-rated, bottle BB 10/2007
Red ruby, small off-white head. Malty nose with vinegar, metal and berries. Malty with licorice notes plus some dark fruits. Nice sipping beer. Long but light hoppy and alcoholic aftertaste. (6/4/7/3/13 3.3)

A hazy orange beer with a thin white head. The aroma is sweet matly with slight hints of acid, while the flavor is a mixture of sweetness and acidity, the body is thin. Drunk 3 days after its best before date - I think it should be drunk fresh.
