Description
Alvinne is a 1200hl microbrewery in Flanders, Belgium. It has become an official brewery in 2004 and is located in the village of Moen, at the edge of the Mortagne touristic area and in the area where the historic breweries of the old Flemish Brown beerstyle are situated.
Their own yeast strain is called ‘Morpheus’ and was the reason to start experimenting with mixed fermentation, resulting in sour ales. Alvinne’s main mission is now to create innovative sour beers through a new style of Flemish blond sours by using the mixed fermentation method. You could call it the missing link between Oud Bruin and Lambic. Because of this, Alvinne has gained international attention and respect.
We already experimented with over 30 different kinds of fruits, herbs, plants, berries, flowers and vegetables. Next to the sour range, Alvinne has an interesting beer list that were aged on carefully selected used barrels, such as Cognac, Porto, Sherry, Calvados, Brandy, Red Wine and White Wine. Since 2018, we have started our own Membership “Alvinne’s Fellowship Of Exceptional Ales” to give our core fans the priority to get hands on our very exclusive and limited beers.

Taste: soft acidity, pretty bitter, fruity, sour plums, some banana, a little yeasty, some strawberry jam. Aftertaste: little bitter, fruity, a bit acidic, pretty dry, funky, sour strawberries, dry finish, good clean acidity, nice one!

0.33 l bottle from 'Etre Gourmet', best before February 2030. Very dark ruby to black with a thin, frothy, slowly diminishing, beige head. Intensely sweetish-malty, gently vinous-fruity and slightly resiny aroma of dark chocolate, red wine, raisins, prunes and caramel. Rather sweet, malty, quite roasty-bitter, gently vinous-fruity taste of dark chocolate, coffee, licorice, red wine, raisins, prunes and hints of hazelnut, followed by a long, quite roasty-bitter, slightly boozy and a little woody finish. Medium to full body, smooth and slightly effervescent mouthfeel, soft carbonation. Absolutely delicious, deeper than the already great base beer, superb work in the barrel room. Amazing!

0.33 l bottle from 'Etre Gourmet', best before February 2026. Hazy, very dark ruby to black with a thin, frothy, slowly diminishing, beige head. Sweetish-malty, gently yeasty-spicy and slightly fruity aroma of molasses, licorice, lovage, prunes, dates and some marzipan. Rather sweet, malty, moderately bitter, gently fruity, roasty and slightly yeasty-spicy taste of molasses, prunes, dates, lovage, licorice, chocolate and light marzipan, followed by a long, gently roasty-bitter, slightly boozy finish. Full body, almost oily mouthfeel, very soft carbonation. Very rich and intense beer, not really quad-like but right up my alley.

Aus der Flasche im Muted Horn Berlin 2017-05 getrunken. Was ist das - ein belgisches Quardrupel was durch saure, geräucherte Pirsiche einen deutlichen Stempel aufgedrückt bekommt. Von einem malzigen süßlichen dunklen Starkbier bleibt da nichts. Die moderate Rauch und wundervolle Fruchtnoten mit toller Säure machen dieses Bier zu was Besonderen. Megaspannendes Bier mit einen stolzen Preis. Aber es hat sich echt gelohnt.
