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.

Amberkleurig bier met mooie schuimkraag. Smaak is bitterzoet met iets van karamel, wat vanille en een beetje hout en blijft vrij lang hangen. OK.

Small if persisting white rim, fed by invisible carbonation in fully hazy yellow beer. Banana, some exotid fruit, chewing gum, almonds, sweet malts, bit perfumey as lemongrass. Sweet, restsugars, cardboard, oranges. White candi sugar, bark. Alcohol quite hidden, sweet aftertaste; better carbonated than it looks. Bit anonymous, certainly for "sensory heaven". De Proef seldom or never makes mistakes, but it is too fade. Txs to the girls @ the practice!

Taste is sweet-ish, slightly biscuity, minimally sugary, pale malty, yeasty fruity and slightly bitter, fruity hoppy, hints of apricot, mirabelle, a touch of brioche, mandarine, orange peel, fruit acidic undertones; lingering, zesty bitter, hoppy finish. Watery texture, smooth, simultaneously slightly dry palate, medium, dense, almost creamy, mildly prickly carbonation. Rather cautious aroma, more intense taste, nice composition overall - decent.
