Description
Leroy Het Sas : The original brewery "Het Sas", later Brouwerij Leroy, established in Boezinge in 1572; destroyed in the First World War and rebuilt in 1924. Named after a lock ('sas' in Dutch) in the nearby canal. Cooperating with Van Eecke (Leroy Breweries Watou) since 1962. Both breweries merged into Leroy Breweries in 2016.

Leroy Watou : Established as a castle brewery for the count of Watou in 1624 and also known formerly as Brouwerij De Gouden Leeuw. Has long been connected to Leroy in Boezinge through family ties, with both breweries cooperating since 1962. They merged into Leroy Breweries in 2016; the Watou branch now does all the actual brewing (while Boezinge handles conditioning and bottling).

From the website:
Leroy Breweries staat al meer dan 4 eeuwen voor traditie, vakmanschap en passie, weerspiegeld in een assortiment kwalitatief hoogstaande bieren. Zelfs de Franse Revolutie en de Eerste Wereldoorlog konden de brouwerijen niet klein krijgen en ondertussen leiden de tiende en elfde brouwersgeneratie van de familie Leroy alles in goede banen.

Bottle. Pours hazy copper brown with big, airy but stable light beige head. Clear aroma of berries, with touches of yeast and caramel. Bitter and dry flavour of yeast and berries, with fruity touches and notes of hops and malt. Lingering vinous aftertaste with estery notes and touches of caramel malt. Decent but rather different from my idea of a Dubbel.

Bottle, 7.8%. Good dusty and nicely vinous aroma. Dark brown colour, seems clear. Very big rocky light brown head. The flavour starts off nicely citric. Totally unexpected of the style, but good nevertheless. Good citric note, very clean, but also with a distinct note of sour cherries. Good and refreshing, actually.
