Description
Brouwerij Hommeles werd opgericht door Jos Eberson, Jan Ausems en Kees Volkers vanuit het Houtens Brouwcollectief.
Met het collectief wilde de drie mannen de Utrechtse speciaalbiercultuur op de kaart zetten door middel van brouw demonstraties,
een lokaal speciaalbierfestival met alleen brouwers uit de provincie en door het delen van de geschiedenis van bier in de provincie.
Het charmante Utrechtse Bierbrouwersfestival (UBF) dat werd gehouden bij Molen de Ster in Utrecht groeide al snel uit tot een populair festival dat uit zijn voegen barstte, en verhuisde naar evenementenlocatie De Fabrique aan de rand van Utrecht. Ook was de vraag naar het bier dat door de drie mannen werd gebrouwen inmiddels zo groot geworden dat er een flink assortiment was ontstaan. Geschonken bij cafés en restaurants in de regio en verkocht bij verschillende speciaalzaken. Zo werd een stichting een BV, en werd brouwen serious business.

Since 22 december 2020 owned completely by Huttenkloas where also all the beers are brewed.

Bottle. Black pour. Smooth aroma of maple, coffee and roasted malt. Nice taste of gritty coffee, roast, cream and a sweet caramelish stuff that must be the mapple. This is nice.

Clear amber brown colour, two finger frothy beige head, good retention and lacing. Aroma malty, roasty, caramel, dried dark fruit, smoky. Taste medium sweet and bitter, malty, toffee, subtle retronasal smokiness, with average duration. Bittersweet aftertaste, spicy notes, medium body, watery to oily texture, soft carbonation. No honey but smoke, how about that (!), nice atypical Doppelbock.

33cl bottle. Pours a dark amber, with a coarse beige head that disappears quite quickly. Smells of dried fruits, prunes, raisins, caramel, red wine. Sweet and a bit thick, with notes of dried fruit and caramel throughout. A faint bitterness in the aftertaste, along with a metallic feeling. A decent brew, but not a Russian imperial stout by any stretch of imagination - more like a Belgian strong dark ale or a dubbel.
