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.

8/III/25 - 33cl bottle @ home, BB: X/2026 (2025-265) Thanks to Alengrin for sharing the bottle!

Clear bright red beer, small creamy light beige head, a little stable, a bit adhesive. Aroma: strawberry jam, caramel, malty, a bit yeasty. MF: lively carbon, medium body. Taste: pretty sweet, yeasty, some banana, a gentle bitterness. Aftertaste: fruity, sugary, a bit hoppy, lots of alcohol, a bit yeasty, some banana peel, a bit medicinal, caramel touch, very mediocre beer, but no surprise after what I’ve already tasted from the Kompel series.
