Description
The former name was brewery De Brouwketel, which was in operation at the current location at least from 1706 onwards. In 1884 the brewery became the property of the Duysters family. In 1968 the company was transformed into Duysters NV (limited liability company) which was active as a brewery until 1973.

The Loterbol brewpub started in 1995 in a renovated part of the brewery from the 18th century. in 2002 brewing started in the old brewery building of 1908. Both locations are still used for brewing.

Blend van Loterbol en 3-Fonteinen Lambik. Bitterheid bereikt m’n grens. Champagne-gevoel.

37,5 cl bottle, 9% alcohol. Hazy dark golden/amber color, with a nice big white head. Aroma is caramel, citrus, moderately spicy. Taste is spicy, licorice, just a bit sour, even honey, but absolutely not sweet, actually it is very dry. Soft carbonation, alcohol well hidden, but later you can feel it. I expected more lambic sourness, instead it's a very balanced beer. Really interesting. Nice.

33 cl bottle from the old Sam's Wines, 2009. Date notch 2006. Another beer I probably should have pulled from the cellar many years ago. Ah, well. Nose on this does have the slightly medicinal smell of an aged, malty beer. No spoilage. But a note of plum and raisin that's kind of nice. Color is brown to brassy, with just a light ring of foam around the rim. Taste is malty, just a little fruity, pretty good. Slight note of maple syrup. But the mouthfeel comes across a little bit thin. Perhaps that's what's kept this from coming out as oxidized. Altogether, it's middlin' for an old beer, but maybe should have held on to a bit more character.

500ml bottle (2006 / 11.5%) @ monthly tasting, Chez Sophie, Feb '19. Pours misty golden copper, small foamy white head. Funky wild lambic nose. Taste is extremely light, wild with a teasing brown sugar caramel linger, wild foraged herbs, woody. Seems to have held up remarkably well over the last 13 years. Excellent complexity.

Sweetbitter aftertaste, earthy and spicy notes, medium body, oily texture, sharp carbonation, rustic country ale, very nice.

2017 bottle. 9%. Wine Rack, Sharrow, Sheffield. Slow gusher. Clear gold. Huge head settles to a dense foam. Good looker. Nose has apple pie. Wheaty grain. Bit of new leather. Sweet oak. Taste is unripe apple tart, with some grainy sweetness. Medium body. Foamy, burp inducing carbonation. Some acidity. A little drying, too. Tart apple bitterness to finish. Heavy duty gear.
