Description
It started as a hobby. In 2012, four brewery friends decided to join their tasty tripel in the Brouwland Beer Competition. From a selection of more than 90 beers, our Bryggja was voted the best hobby beer in Belgium by a professional jury. The start of a great adventure! We took this opportunity with both hands and chose a name, bottle, a suitable design for our label ... With the Bruges Beer Festival 2013, our beer was launched. We brewed externally and the sales went beyond all expectations. The following year our 2nd beer "Amuse" came on the market. A spicy beer that is very suitable as an aperitif beer. At the end of 2014, the decision was made to fully go ahead and start our own brewery. We found a building in Moerkerke and in the spring of 2015 the brewing installation was installed. We only work with Belgian hops and can therefore also use the official logo. Our beer is a traditional product, with us no extracts, no flavor or foam enhancers. We like to keep it pure nature.

Bottle.

T: sweetish fig & prune, herbal liquorice & aniseed, toast.
F: herbal hops, spices, toast, touch of coffee.
P: medium body, thin oily texture, average carbonation.
Does have some redeeming 'brown' aspects but it leans too heavily still on the herbal profile.

Bottle from a local bottle shop. Aroma is sweet caramel malt, marzipan, infused whisky, wood, sugar, some dried fruit. Flavour is quite sweet with some warming booze in the finish. Above medium body. Too sweet for my taste.

This 33 cl bottle came from a retailer in Belgium. Generally I think barrel aging or infusing improves a Belgian style beer. My opinion. Now we will see how a strong pale ale reacts to it. I have a snifter ready to receive the pour, a dark gold-amber liquid with a generous head of light tan foam. I smell the whisky immediately along with apricots and white bread. A drink is taken, well, this is a bit different. An unexpected amount of smokiness right away (scotch whisky?), wood, apricots again, alcohol, a touch of vanilla and some candy sweetness. Not bad but a distance from great.
