Description
We hebben onze passie ondersteund met een brouwopleiding aan Coovi in Anderlecht. Hier leren professionele lesgevers je de juiste technieken aan. Ook krijg je ten volle de kans om te experimenteren. Ik ben gestart met brouwen in de kleine doch professionele brouwerij, Craywinkelhof te Lubbeek. Eigenaar Louis staat ons bij met de logistiek en Luc controleert de recepten en geeft raad bij de recepten.

Sinds halverwege 2018 hebben we ons smaakatelier in Halle en brouwen nu zelf onze experimenten en werken we verder aan nieuwe smaken. Naast bier is er ook plaats voor likeuren en distilaten. Onze brouwerij in Halle dient net om nieuwe smaken te ontdekken en om innovatieve projecten op te starten.

Ons smaakatelier staat voor iedereen open die een passie heeft voor smaken en die wil experimenteren met bier brouwen of distilleren.

Bouteille 33cl @ parent's place, BB 08/2019. Dorée sur léger toruble, col blanc crémeux fin. Arôme est centré sur les grains, petite touche épicée de coriandre en rétro avec un léger fruité fermenté. Palais est épais, grains dont pils et pâle, le tout donne un léger effet brett, pointe épicée de coriandre voire gingembre léger, le tout sur un léger fruité plutôt de facture classique belge. Malt perdure sur la fin.

29 April 2018, at Zythos Bierfestival. Deputy Taster: Anke.
Hazy brown with a small, foamy, beige head; little lacing, some sediment. Aroma of milk chocolate, peanuts, cream & coffee liqueur (Bailey's), caramel, dough, light roasted malt, some vanilla. It tastes medium chocolatey sweet, with cream & vanilla notes, and light spicy & roasted bitter. Roasted & creamy finish with a dash of liqueur alcohol. Medium body, oily texture, fizzy carbonation. Somewhat unbalanced but hey, it's a Sweet Stout for a reason.
