Description
De bieren worden gebrouwen in een moderne 25 Hl installatie in Erpe-Mere. Gelet op de sterk groeiende vraag en het plaatsgebrek op de huidige site werd de brouwerij voor verdere groei genoodzaakt uit te kijken naar een bijkomende locatie. Deze werd gevonden in de Industriezone AALST ZUID III, waar een bijzondere ruime productiehal werd aangekocht. Deze werd volledig gerenoveerd en uitgerust voor de verdere expansie van de brouwerij. Op deze site werden 6 gekoelde cylindroconische gistingstanks van 37 Hl/elk geïnstalleerd. Tegelijkertijd werd er een nieuwe Italiaans- Duitse afvullijn geplaatst voor 33 cl flesjes, en een ultramoderne hergistingskamer.

Ondanks alle investeringen in high-tech toestanden blijft de missie van de brouwerij ongewijzigd: op ambachtelijke wijze smaakvol natuurbier brouwen in een moderne installatie, met enkel de beste grondstoffen en zonder toevoeging van om het even welk kunstmatig additief!

The bottle is a real gusher; cloudy dark amber color. The malt is quite good, there is some pleasant residual sweetness, but all is quite spoiled by a mild but evident vegetable presence (the fermentation). The aroma is also a bit fruity. Not at the top, but still ok.

750 ml bottle. Spicy, fruity, vegetal aroma. Lots of old celery. Rich malt that is a first quite layered and lovely but quickly vanishes away into caronated vegetable juice. Cookie and bread in the middle palate, somewhat like a good bock. But far too heavily carbonated; watery, terrible body. Stink-ass and vegetal. This doesn’t seem like the same beer I’ve read about. A huge disappointment, especially next to the aged stilton we paired it with. A bad batch?

Medium dark cloudy chestnut color with a brisk coca-cola type head that rises rapidly and falls quickly, but then sticks around. Aroma of toffee, raisins and scotch with lots of malt apparent. Tstes at first like butterscotch candy without too much sweetness, then develops an edge os pepper and spice, finally finishing with a lightly hopped bitterness. Very nice example of the style, more spiced than most.
