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.

Vintage 2003. No head. orange brown color. Good lacing. Hops are clearly present, so it must be massively hopped. Sweet flavor with coffee liquor, walnuts, amaretto, caramel and some chocolate. Alcohol is clearly present, but not overwhelming. Very nice beer, already well balanced. It must be something special in 2008 or so. Vintage 2005, tasted 26.12.07. Orange brown color. Malty aroma with notes of old brandy, vegetables and oak. Malty sweet flavor, alcoholic with oak, brandy, mint and grapes. Complex and quite refined in spite of the alcohol. Needs some more cellaring to soften up. No need to change the rating.

Malt, licorice and peach aroma. Very full bodied, thick texture. Malty, syrupy and sugary. Licorice, orange and peach. A fair amount of alcohol, partly hidden by the intense fruity and malty sweetness. Some peachy sweetness, almost like a St Louis Peche. Well made and delicious beer, almost a bit too much of everything, but a real treat in your glass. Brewer Herm Hegger knows his job. Re-rate: tap t Arendsnest. Orange color, clear. Malt and cherry sweets and pepper in the aroma. Very sweet flavor, buttery and peppery. Malty with rosebuds, raspberry, flowery hops and a hint of cardemom. Sweet but lovely. Reasonably well balanced (7 3 8 3 15 = 3.6)

Tap, Het Arendsnest Amsterdam. Light amber color. Malty butterscotch flavor with a lingering bitterness. The flavor beats the aroma by miles.

Bottle, 11 years past the BBD. Pours cloudy copper brown with very small off-white head. Clear aroma of Belgian yeast, malt and caramel, with fruity notes and touches of hops. Sweetish flavour of yeast and caramel malt, with dusty notes and touches of fruit and roast. Dusty and caramellish aftertaste with estery notes. A nice one.

33 cl. bottle @ home, bought online @ Mr. Hop. Light hazy amber with a big coarse off-white head. Malty sweet caramel aroma with some yeast spiciness. Sweet taste. Bit over-carbonated with a spicy bitter finish. Unassuming at first but turns out quite okay.
