Stroom Brouwers
Microbrewery
in Ghent,
East Flanders,
Belgium 🇧🇪
Associated with 2 Venues
Established in 2021
Farrell’s home town back in Colorado was named after the confluence of the Colorado and Grand rivers. As luck would have it, Gent is also named after the confluence of two rivers, one of which runs right past the brewery. It was playing with this happy coincidence that brought us to Stroom – a place for creative connection.

Imperial stout aged in whisky barrels created by Stroom here in Ghent earlier this year; can from the Delhaize supermarket at the Sterre. Thick and frothy, crackling, pale brownish-beige, somewhat rocky and sturdy, uneven-bubbled, irregular but stable head on an initially clear, very dark chocolate brown beer, in practice as good as black but with mahogany glow at the edges. Aroma of butterscotch, 'Haagse hopjes', liquorice, 'Koetjesreep', toffee, indeed whisky piercing through, nougat, oak furniture (but not very strong on the vanillin this time), brown sugar, fig syrup, candied dates, molasses, brown wok sauce, fresh bayleaf, vague notes of peppermint candy, clove and chewing gum. Dense, sweet onset, candied dates, fig compote, pear syrup and a slight sourish edge (ripe blackberry), medium carbonated in a 'fat', oily, almost somewhat syrupy body; layers of toffee, caramel candy, nougat, milk and eventually dark chocolate unfold, moving from sweet to more toasty bitter, but never becoming roasted and coffeeish (alas, I am inclined to add). Strong tannic woodiness in the end along with a strong whisky factor, both in retronasal aroma and in flavour, but also in peppery alcohol; tea-like herbal hops provide underlying bitterness more than the malts, while these clove-, fresh bayleaf- and liquorice-like aspects join in playfully. The whisky unfortunately also brings a strong solventy effect, as in fresh paint or even nail polish, which may be shaved off a bit by letting the cans rest in a cellar for half a year more. Needs some more finetuning, but the basic structure is okay - just a bit too solventy, sweet and boozy for me. I think adding more roasted bitterness and less whisky would bring significant improvement.
