With unique beer recipe on the work, the brewery was renamed as ‘Brugse Zot’. Brugse Zot beer became the only beer that is personally brewed in the town center of Bruges. The Brugse Zot and Straffe Hendrik beers are two of the brewery’s finest types of beers. Straffe Hendrik beer is filled with bitter ale while the Brugse Zot is rich in fruity flavor along with different types of malts and hoppy aromas.

750ml corked and crowned bottle. Vintage 2022. Dark brown pour is topped by a large, firm tan head. Aroma of sweet dark malt hints at black cherries and plums. Flavor is sweet caramel, red fruits, oak, stewed plums, warming alcohol. Sticky mouthfeel. Rich, vinous notes. Some dry, peppery notes on backend. Enjoyable.

Heel apart. Tripel? ok, zeker niet zoet, beetje droge nasmaak. Fruitig, beetje hoppig, lekkere CO2, geen alcoholsmaak..

Bottle, corked and caged from the lcbo. Dark brown pour, large beige head. Loads of dark fruit, bread, chewy, sticky malts, some minerals and brown sugar. Full mouth feel, lively carb. Low bitterness, semi sweet finish with more dark candied fruit and molasses.
