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.

I liked it, but I expected more from it. The tripel part of the beer pas too dominant, I would have liked the beer to be more sour and intense.

375 ml corked green bottle, vintage 2007, shared with my son Steinar, at Amundsen, Oslo. ABV was 10.5%. First glass poured clear orange, second glass very cloudy with yeast. No carbonation. Intense aroma of farmhouse, horse stable and white wine vinegar. Fairly bitter and dry flavour for a lambic, sour but not extreme.

Holziger Antrunk mit Kirschnoten, trocken. Zu stark karbonisiert, die Fruchtigkeit wird intensiver. Im Nachgeschmack sind die Kirschnoten weiterhin wichtig, süffig, gut. 11/8/11/11/5/10

33 cl. bottle sampled @ Kulminator. Very dark brown, blackish with a solid creamy beige head. Pretty bitter stuff, raw & unbalanced, coffee filter, raw grounds, syrupy dark fruits, mocha, touch metallic. Finish come in heavily. Substantial body. I understand the comparison the Rochefort 10 comparison, this was not bad, far too unbalanced & raw + all over the place. Expected a bit more from Loterbol to be honest.
