Description
De EleganT brouwerij is een Leiderdorpse productiebrouwerij voor speciaalbieren. Er wordt ambachtelijk gebrouwen en bieren worden niet gefilterd of gepasteuriseerd.

Er wordt gebrouwen voor de locale markt en met de seizoenen mee. Niet alle bieren zijn dus het hele jaar door verkrijgbaar.

Op 17 december 2023 was er op de website van de brouwerij te lezen dat de brouwerij verder gaat als één van de merken van de nieuwe Brouwerij De Breek, samen met ARRR! Brewing, maar daar lijkt begin 2026 nog weinig van terechtgekomen.

33 cl bottle @ Gastropub Tuulensuu. Rated on 14.08.2010
Aroma is somewhat sweet and perfume‐like with toffee, alcohol, some distant floral and yeasty notes. Flavour has toffee typical to Belgian ale, some boozy notes and hints of honey. Too much alcohol comes through.

Bottled. Hazy goldeny orange colour with a minor slightly off-white head. Aroma is fruity, berries, some zest, apple, sugar and mild sweet malts. Flavour is being rather similar, but being all too sweet for me. Sticky mouthfeel. Strange brew without a real balance.

33 cl bottle @ Gastropub Tuulensuu. Rated on 11.13.2010
Aroma is malty with butter, some chocolate and raisins. Flavour has sweet malt, some raisins, butter and toffee. Quite unusual for a Dunkler Bock – but a typical Dutch Bock.

33 cl bottle @ Gastropub Tuulensuu. Rated on 11.12.2010
Aroma has some licorice, spices, brown sugar and sweetish malt. Flavour is somewhat messy and strong on licorice. Also some brown sugar, Belgian yeast and sweet malt. The licorice is nice here, but this is way too sweet for me.

Bottled. Hazy orangeish brown colour with a mediumsized yellowish beige head, that leaves some slight lace. Aroma is sweet malts, some slight honey as well as mild breadyness. Also some slight gluelike sweetness. Flavour is honeyish, yeasty, quite sweet malty as well as mild stinging alcohol. A bit thin as for the palate, but otherwise a quite balanced brew.
