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.

33 cL bottle. Pours hazy and dark brown with a huge tan head. Sweet caramel and mild fruity aroma. Flavour is sweet too, holds a nice light roasted malt flavour this providing a rather smooth caramelmalt impression. Light yeasty touch following and a mild bitterness going along into the finish. Lasting caramel malty finish. Nice one.

Bottle from Bottle Trek. Hazy apricot color with a decent white head. Aromas of pale stone fruit, yeast, candi and perhaps malt. Medium body with slightly fizzy carbonation. Flavor is spice, wood, pale fruit, malt, trace of funk. Finish is quite dry with herbs/wood/funk for a little extra bitter. Worth taking time to appreciate.

11.2oz bottle. Deep, elegant, solid Brown color. Frothy, cloudy head. Smooth and very sweet, with an intense yeasty pungent flavor. Reminiscent of that candi sugar taste, but I guess they get all those funky, sweet flavors from the malt, yeast, and hops. The latter help to make this beer crisp and drinkable, but this one is in no way even approaching a hop-bomb. A little sweet and pungent for me at first sip, but with such a great aftertaste and all those great yeast flavors, I can see myself going back for more of this one.
