Description
De brouwerij Den Toetëlèr – dialect voor vlierstruik – werd opgestart door Luc Festjens, Kurt Meers, Stefaan Huybrechts en Erwin Duts in 2010. Vanaf januari 2011 was de brouwerij operationeel. Oud hout van de vlierstruik is hol en werd vroeger gebruikt om fluitjes of toeters mee te maken, waardoor de struik in de volksmond de naam “toetëlèr” meekreeg. Het is nooit de bedoeling geweest om het bier in opdracht elders te laten brouwen: dit nieuwe Limburgs bier moest in Limburg gebrouwen worden. Om dit standpunt kracht bij te zetten, werd bewust gekozen voor de dialectische naam van de vlierstruik.

Bottle, 8.5%. Good caramelly aroma. Seemingly clear amber colour. Small off-white head. The flavour is sweetish and caramelly. Actually gets a bit sugary in the finish, sort of dark sugars, and ok spicy sugars. Has an off-flavour in the finish that I do not particularly enjoy. A bit like burnt plastic.
