Description
In 1872, Jules Vanneste bought the ‘t Hamerken distillery. In 1889, he took the step of definitively converting the distillery into a brewery. Soon, ‘t Hamerken top-fermentation beers became a household name in the Bruges area. Brewing continued till 1982.
In 1983, Paul Vanneste (great-grandson of the founder) founded the new De Gouden Boom brewery in collaboration with Frank Boon Brewery from Lembeek. In 1985 Brouwerij De Gouden Boom is granted a licence to brew the STEENBRUGGE abbey beers.
On 16 November 2001, PALM brewery acquired a majority interest in Brouwerij De Gouden Boom and in 2003 it was completely taken over by Palm Brewery. In the same year the Prior of St Peter’s Abbey in Steenbrugge licensed PALM Breweries to brew STEENBRUGGE abbey beers.
Since 2004 production of Bruges beers has been relocated to the PALM Breweries site in Steenhuffel.

(BRABANTE OSCURA) Marrón rojiza. Espuma poco duradera. Aroma a malta tostada. En boca parecido, Malta, algo de café y un final seco, dentro de un tono general algo aguado que estropea el conjunto. De todas formas se bebe bien.

(BRABANTE ORO) Dorada turbia. Espuma blanca muy abundante. Aroma malteado y algo especiado. Sabor marcadamente especiado predominando clavo. Carbónica como casi todas las brabante, algo picante. Final amargo que perdura.

Notes from early 90s. Bottle, still from the original Gouden Boom brewery. Golden color. Aroma’s: a bit sweet malts, fruity. Flavor malt/grain, hardly any sweetness. Alcohol feel is rather strong. Medium bodied. Finish is long, but no new flavors.

33cl bottle at Taj Mahal, Brugge. Pours clear golden with a decent, white head. Medium fruity with notes of Belgian yeast, spices and malt. Medium sweet with flavour on the mild side, but fair enough. Nothing special, but quite okay.

Brun uklar med lavt hvitt skum. Lukter toffee, røde bær og belgisk gjær. Smaker søtt, noe bitter ristet brent karamell og alkohol. Lite kullsyre. Stikky
