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.

330ml bottle. Minimally milky, dark amber colour with ruby shimmer and average, creamy, moderately lasting and lacing, sulphureous head. Sweet-ish, yeasty fruity aroma, slightly sugary, caramel malty background, hints of cherry, red berries, weak floral overtones with a touch of rose. Taste is sweet-ish, caramel malty, yeasty fruity and minimally woody and spicy, hints of cherry and red berries, a minimally tannic touch of oak, a touch of vanilla as well, mildly bitter hoppy counterpart; slightly warming, alcoholic finish.
Light body, watery texture, smooth and soft, silky, minimally cloying palate, medium, dense, soft, mildly prickly carbonation.
Relatively "thin", not overly complex, rather cautious oaky aspects - OK.
