Description
In de schaduw van de Ichtegemse kerk ligt Brouwerij Strubbe, een brouwerij die al generaties lang behoort tot de familie Strubbe. De bierproductie gebeurt nog steeds op een ambachtelijke manier, zij het met moderne productiemethodes. Ook in het buitenland lusten ze wel een Ichtegems gebrouwen biertje. Een groot deel van de bierproductie wordt verscheept naar het buitenland waaronder Italië, Duitsland, maar ook naar Japan en zelfs Amerika. Het succesverhaal van brouwerij Strubbe is er dan ook eentje die leest als een echte story waarbij een grote passie en ongebreideld enthousiasme voor het bierbrouwen generatie na generatie werd doorgegeven.

ZBF08. Very dark brown colour. Really nice creamy head, very stable, light brown. Caraway seed aroma?! Perhaps some sweat. A little of the same in the flavour along with some good tartness. Strange beer, but not bad.

25 cL bottle at Delirium Café in Brussel. Pours clear cobber with a lacing white head. Light malt, slight metallic aroma and with a minor spice note. Light caramel malt flavour with a light spice note. Smooth finish with a mix of yeast, caramel malt and more subdued spice note. Distinct dry bitterness in the finish.

2008 Zythos Bier Festival, Belgium. Fresh, citrus aroma. Taste is lemony, and tart. Body is thin and watery. Just a little too acidic but not bad overall.

Bottle, 5.4%. Citric grapefruity aroma. Quite sweet flavour, sugary. Also with some refreshing hops, but not enough. Aspartam aftertaste.

Bottle, 8.00%. Weak cidery aroma. Light brown colour, small white head. The flavour is quite malty, a little sour. Not a tripel, more like a dubbel. But still OK. Slightly swelling mouthfeel.

On tap at Max’s Taphouse in Baltimore during their Belgian fest. Pours a deep, translucent dark brown with a white slim head. Sour aroma that’s a bit fruity with plenty of grapes. Flavor is sour but extremely unique with grapes and yeast dominating. A weird, earthy and cheesy flavor also races over the tongue. Slightly creamy texture on the end. One of a kind.

Perfectly copper-coloured beer with a small white head. Chocolate powder, dry dog poop (CAN that sound OK? - no, so, sorry, it’s not that bad). Very outspoken aroma. Chocolate, like a dry, quite sweet chocolate bar, or cacao powder for a choco-drink. In fact, very much like Ovomaltine. Well-bodied, slick. Surprising, not bad, but terribly unidimensional. Mark, take a good sip from Young’s Chocolate stout, or the one from Rogue, and try again.
