Description
Our craft beers are contemporary yet rooted in history and inspired by classic types of beer. You can taste the history of prison town Veenhuizen in our beers. The Maallust beers are artisanal, authentic and brewed with only the very best ingredients. Whether it’s our hoppy blonde Weldoener or the treacherously smooth tripel Zware Jongen; Maallust beers are full of character.

Maallust was founded in 2011. It was initiated by a group of 25 entrepeneurs who call themselves the ‘Zware Jongens’ (Heavy Guys). They not only started brewing in Veenhuizen, they also revived the dilapidated Maallust complex. After a thorough renovation, the brewery opened its doors. Today, the Maallust complex looks marvelous, and its beer is available all throughout the Netherlands. Maallust is the perfect addition to a village with a unique history.

Draught @ Bierstraatje Boxtel 2014. Hazy dark orange to red - brownish color, medium to full sized thick, lightly creamy, very well lacing beige head that lasts for a long time. Aroma is malts, wort, sweet, hazelnuts, figs and perhaps lightly caramel and raisins. Taste malts, again lightly that weird touch of hazelnuts, caramel, raisins and figs mixed together, sweet. Not the straightforward Abbey Dubbel and that’s what makes it interesting. Once you’re used to the weird sweetish nutty flavor it’s actually quite nice. Certainly worth a try, as I said at first a bit weird perhaps, but definitely not bad. -- Sampled from bottle September 23rd 2014. Didn’t get that nutty flavor this time, but more balanced imo. Still worth a try.

30 cl bottle from VVV Assen @ home. Brouwsel 2013. Deep dark brwon color with a red hue. Uneven beige head. Aroma’s: sweet malts, red/dried fruit, berries, some caramel/(sticky) toffee, alcohol. Flavor is sweet, toffee-ish, fruity. Quite strong alcohol feel. Medium bodied. Finish of caramel malts, hint of bitter. Well crafted but (a bit) too sweet.

Thanks to WillemsUrenkel for that one! Bottle looks simple but good. Beer in the glass deep golden, huge head. Starts intense malty, wheaty, more and more spicy. Fruity notes of peaches and apricot. Finish light alcoholic, still okay. Not bad!

Thanks to WillemsUrenkel for that one! Bottle looks simple but good. Beer in the glass dark brown, nice head. Dry malty aroma. Starts malty, modest dry, light fruity notes of raisins. Finish still dry, a bit earthy. Okay.

0,3 l bottle from Slijterij Benting, Coevorden. And, as I repeat everytime at Maallust ratings, a simple but perfect and informative label art design. Light unclear and pale golden in the glass, big white head. Yeast, wheat and soft caramell on the nose, light fruity. Starts surprisingly very herb, dry grapefruit and orange. A lot of hop, no easy drinker. Low but present sweetness. Alcoholic hints in the aftertaste.

0,3 l bottle from Slijterij Benting, Coevorden. And, as I write everytime at Maallust ratings, a simple but perfect and informative label art design. An unclear pale orange in the glass, small fine foamy head. Malt and dry fruits on the nose. Taste dry apricot, malt, pleasant sweetness, hop in the second row. Nuts and cookies, sweeter to the end. Not so alcoholic as expected. Enjoyed it a lot!
