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.

Notes from October 2009 Post-It edition. 7/13/09 BB: December 08 Too long? I hope not. Once I take a hearty sip, the fatty wine glass quickly gets replaced by my everyday pint. It just drinks better. Inches of stiff cream-colored craters that take their time settling out. A sort of mahogany color. Cloudy, but so far pretty decently decanted. I can't hold off the sediment for long though. Macerated raisins, maple syrup, concord grape juice, & light resiny/herbal hops. Maple syrup, prune juice, cola, & smoke. Some muted earthy & rindy hops that linger. Hint of clove. A twinge of newspaper that is totally my fault for sitting on this. Full gulps of dark cherry. Barely a touch tart. A satisfied smile. Surprisingly less thick then I assumed it would be. Frothy, with moderate carbonation. Disturbed yeast makes it just a bit dirty. Alcohol is intertwined & never gets hot or isolated. This empty glass is just as heavy as some still full in my fridge. A very nice brew. :)

Bottle, 0.33l. Aroma of caramel, dried fruit, bread and yeast. Pours cloudy dark brown color with thin quickly diminishing light brown head, yeast residue and average sparkling appearance. Taste starts light to medium sweet caramelly, slightly burned and a bit grassy, following is dried fruity and yeasty with smooth mouthfeel and mild bitter finish. Full body, oily texture and soft carbonation in palate. Not too sweet & very drinkable despite its high ABV…

(Bottle, vintage 2019) Hazy golden amber colour with brief, bubbly head. Fruity nose with notes of red apples, dried apricots, orange, oak wood, almonds, cellar and barnyard. Fruity, tart taste with cloudberries, dried apricots, grapefruit peel, oak wood, almonds, sourdough bread and barnyard. Gentle citric bitterness in the finish. Medium body, with a slight sweetness. Rich and tasty. The alcohol level brings some extra complexity to the lambic part of the beer. Very nice.
