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.

(Bottle 33 cl) Courtesy of yespr. Comes as "Alvinne Podge Oak Aged Stout" at 11% ABV. Clear, reddish brown with a dense, beige head leaving some lacework. Distinct oaky nose, some hard roasted malt and a light acidity. Medium-bodied, very lively, plenty of hard roasted malts, fruit and distinct oak notes. Lightly tart finish - mainly from the malt. Quite lovely but not that Stout-like really. 040408

(Bottle 33 cl) Courtesy of yespr. Hazy golden with a huge amount of not so pleasant floaties. An extremely lively, rough, white head. Very perfumy, fruity aroma. Medium body with sweet fruit notes, yeast and then unfortunately the typical crude Alvinne bitterness in the finish. 040408

Bottled. A golden beer with sediment floating around under a huge fluffy beige head - over carbonated. The aroma is sweet and rather spicy combined with notes of hops and grass - very Belgian. The flavor is sweet and very malty combined with strong spicy notes - especiially elderberry flowers as well as notes of yeast and hops, leading to a dry bitter finish. Thanks BelJohansen.
