Description
Hans Anton and Clement Verschoor decided in 2018 to set up a brewery. Hans Anton had years of experience as a hobby brewer and together they dared to do something 'completely different'. A challenge with the aim of creating (a) beautiful beer (brand). After the permits were issued in early 2019, construction of the brewery began. Since 2020, brewing has been taking place in an old farmhouse from the 17th century. We brew our beers in our 15 hectoliter brewhouse in Almkerk. With a fermentation capacity of 135 hl and a lager capacity of 60 hl, we can brew beer twice a week on average.

300ml bottle. Probably slightly cloudy, darkest brown colour with weak ruby shimmer and average, frothy, slowly osteoporosing, moderately lacing, off-white to beige head. Slightly roasty and sweet-ish, dark malty aroma, hints of malt lozenge, some roast, minimally grainy overtones. Taste is roasty and slightly sweet-ish, minimally ashy, dark malty, slightly bitter roasty and bitter hoppy, hints of malt lozenge, some roast, some grassy hop, a weak touch of liquorice, undertones of dark caramel; increasing/accumulating (roasty) bitterness.
Watery texture, smooth and soft, simultaneously slightly dry palate, medium, dense, mildly prickly carbonation.
Quite roasty and bitter, "dirty" - nice.
