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.

Pours clear blonde, medium sized white head. Smell is non existent, maybe an ever so slight hint of banana esters ? Taste is slightly bitter, some banana. Fine bitterness vs sweet balance. Lower banana intensity ( especially low for the style ). Pretty bland tripel

Pours clear blonde, relatively bog white head. Smell is refined, perfumy, mild honey like funk, but not recognizable honey to me ( not as sweet either, let alone as chemical as the likes of barbar ) . Taste is sharp, floral, low bitterness. Perfumy. Fairly elegant. Mildly sweet finish. Bit too much carbo. Beautifull usage of honey, where the florality really is put to the front, but remains a very boring BE style beer nevertheless. Perhaps with a different base, this might be a very fun beer !

Pours deep, clear red with a purple glow. Small, pinkwhite head. Smell is sweet, cherry syrup. Sugary. No beer based backbone to be found. Taste is straight up cherry juice. Not so bad - as cherry juice is not that bad - but has little to do with beer at this point. Milder sweetness than anticipated. bit bitterness left ( low amounts though ) .

Fles geprobeerd bij EdwinC. Het is een licht troebel oranje bier met een volle witte schuimkraag. Het heeft een moutige wat citrus achtige geur. De smaak is moutig, licht kruidig en wat hoppig.

Goudkleurig licht troebel bier met schuim. Smaak is bitter hoppig en krachtig met iets van aardbei, sinaasappel en honing. Erg fijn bier.

15cl glass on 3rd Feb 2019; Brugge Bier Festival. Amber with a white/off-white crown. The nose and taste are both malty and citrusy in nature; malty molasses give sweetness, the citrus fruitiness a slight bitterness. Decent.

Huge light amber head, dense, over foxy chestnut beer. Sweet, caramelly, roasted nose; melanoidins, molasses, dandelions. Sweet-roasted, bit sticky impression. Molasses, syrup but pretty attenuated at the same time, making it more lean. Bit chocolate, cakebottom. Good carbonation, medium body. Average.
