Description
In 1999 the brewery was established in the ''Commanderie van St. Jan'' in Nijmegen. This 12th century monastery has since been our production location and also the place where beer has been drunk most for years. In Brouwerscafé De Hemel, the 12 taps are always filled with different brewes from Hemel. Beer production takes place in the cellars of the Commanderie.

0.33 l bottle from 'Ace Drinks', 2022 vintage, best before December 2023. A little hazy, ruby with a thin, frothy, slowly diminishing, off-white head. Intensely sweetish-malty, slightly fruity-floral aroma of molasses, raisins, prunes, honey, vanilla, quite some bourbon and a touch of coriander. Fairly sweet, malty, moderately bitter, gently fruity-floral taste of molasses, raisins, prunes, vanilla, honey, bourbon and coriander, followed by a medium long, gently bitter, slightly boozy finish. Medium to full body, smooth and slightly effervescent mouthfeel, soft carbonation. Nice variant, quite some influence from the barrel, pleasant sipper.
