Description
Two locals, whose grandparents were still working in the mine, developed the beers. The plan to brew on a large scale soon followed. The first liters of Kompel beer poured out of the tanks at Brouwerij Anders! Kompel Bovengronds was quickly successful and six months later Kompel Ondergronds came onto the market. Between the summer of 2015 and 2018, the beers were brewed at Kasteelbrouwerij Ter Dolen in Houthalen-Helchteren. Since 2019, the beers have been brewed on a larger scale at the Pilot Brewery in Lochristi.

Quite good, cream head over virtually black beer. Chocolate, liquorice, sweet roast, dark if sweet bread. Sweet roast, some ashes, chocolate, hints of coffee beans, chocolated koffiebonen, but also maltsyrup. Very finish has a backthroat hoppy bitterness, charcoal. Medium bodied at least, very oily feel, good carbonation. Not half bad, but it is not a real Doppelbock, IMHO. Txs to Stef!

Bottle. Dull malty aroma with little hop character. Bit too sweetish with a light bitterness. Light to medium body. Boring.
