Description
With the creation of Village brewery De Meester we want to re-establish the tradition of artisan brewing in Kuurne. Our beers are brewed solely according to the traditional brewing processes, with the greatest care and only with natural raw materials. For our beers, we use hop flowers from Poperinge exclusively and refrain for using nor colour pigments, nor foam improvers, nor artificial seasonings. The result of this traditional work methods are the beers of Village brewery De Meester. Beers with character, interwoven with aromas from the different local hops.

Small, if rather stable cream-coloured head over fully opaque, dark brown beer. Alcohol, fortified wine, nuts, chocolate, faintly cocos. Sweet, boozy, rum & fusels. Again somewhat nutty, some chocolate, and the fortified (red) wine returns. Very restrained acidity. Alcoholwarming, and even some alcoholthinning. Bit viscous, oily. Medium carbonation. There's better in this segment - even from both breweries. Txs to Stef!

Near clear amber beer, decent bubbly pale tan head. Smooth palate, mildly dry, decent fine minerally carbonation. Slightly thin malts, a decent caramel creamy sweetness, definitely forward on the sweetness aspect. Ripe fruits, datey fruits, goes well with the caramel. Simple but tasty.

330 ml bottle. Pours a dark reddish brown with no head. Aromas of dark fruit, caramel, baked apples and soft sweet malt. Flavors follow same with some addtional subtle bourbon. Sweet but not cloying. A little light and easy drinking for a barley wine but still quite good.

Hazy amber brown beer, a few pale tan bubbles never threaten to become a head. Smooth palate, slightly viscous, decent fine carbonation. Smooth malts, a little creamy sweet malt with abundant caramel and toffee that is not so sweet. Powerful Fillers BAing - touch of vanilla oak and good whisky spice. Soft but rich and strong fruity whisky. Finishes smooth and spicy. A muscular and very flavoursome BA Barleywine.
