Description
Vleesmeester Brewery saw the light in 2010, when 3 friends –after years of frequenting beer festivals- decided to make their own beers. We bought ourselves a starter kit, and so it began. Some people in our surroundings wondered what we were doing in the kitchen and wanted to come take a look. Whilst crushing the malt they thought we were grinding it in a meat mill. So they started calling us “Vleesmeester” which means meatmaster in Dutch. From then on we called ourselves “Vleesmeester Brewery”, a lay-outer and friend of ours made a logo, and “Vleesmeester Brewery” was born. Fascinated by the less known beers out of the craft beer scene we started experimenting. Our preference went to hoppy beers and our firstborns were mostly IPA’s and Russian Imperial Stouts. One better than the other, by trial and error. Along the way, the people, who weren’t into hoppy beers at first, started to find appreciation for what we were doing. In 2014 the guys from the Antwerp based band “Your Highness” asked us to make a beer to serve at the release of their album, this beer became “Hoogheid”.

Bruin bier met schuim. Smaak is bitterzoet met iets van karamel, wat kandij en kaneel. Helaas wat waterig in de mond maar verder ok.

Bottle at home. A bit cloudy notes in an otherwise good-looking darker orange colored beer, with a medium to full sized white head. Aroma is malts, lightly notes of dust which actually suit the beer in this case, metal / iron. Flavor is malts, iron bitterness, bitter hops, bitter. Decent to medium body, decent carbonation.

Taste is full, rich dried and dark fruits ( dades, raisins,... ) intense rye bread. Very low carbo. Fairly low body. Very, very nice. Some caramel.

Shortlived yellow-cream head over deep dark brown to black beer. Cold coffee, coffeegrist, dark green leaves, bit of chocolate. Coffee, chocolate with a marked stout acidity. Dark malts, dry coffeepowder. Alcohol is seriously hidden. Warming up, I get something as active coal. Chewy, well-bodied, very slight alcoholwarming, good carbonation. Not half bad. And the blurb is an absolute hooter. Txs to Stef!

330 ml bottle. Pours black with short head. Aromas of cola, ink and toasted malts. Flavors of chalky dark fruit, oaky wood, licorice, dark berries and toasted malts. A little too much on the oak, but otherwise quite nice.

Donkerbruin bier met bruin schuim wat niet echt lang blijft staan. Smaak is bitterzoet met iets van bessen, wat koffie en chocolade. Gemeen bier, drinkt heel makkelijk weg.
