Description
Our mission is pretty much monomaniacal: to brew f*cking good beer. We call it craft-y beer because the owl's got a sharp, uncompromised tongue and a penchant for mischief.
On a typical day we toy with the familiar – unfiltered lager, silky hefeweizen and puckery American IPA, anyone? – but at night we explore the crafty beer extremes from our medieval watering hole Haarlem (That's Haarlem with two 'a's, the Dutch one, and the namesake of New York's single-'a'ed Harlem).
Really truly, our idea of fun is abusing the rauchbeer-Scotch ale-sour beer-oak-aged Imperial Stout-Barley wine clichés. The first rule of owl school: when using hops think in wheelbarrows and not buckets.
So enjoy us, drink us and by all means hop fans abuse us right back – ideally via our social media channels where we announce our very active new creations.

Fles gedeeld met Roelzie en Nick. Het is een diep donkerbruin tot zwart bier met een medium beige schuim. Het heeft een aroma van Cognac. De smaak is vol gebrande mout, hout en cognac.

0.33 bottle. Kávés narancsos zabos verzió volt. Gyönyörű a színe, tökéletes árnyalatos barnás fekete, rajta nagyon tartós szép krémes barnás hab. Amilyen csúnya a címke, olyan szép a sör. Aroma: karamell maláta, édesség, de inkább az alkoholt éreztem elsőre. Később már kávésabb lett ahogy melegedett. Igazi ízbomba volt. Nem gondoltam hogy ennyire extra finom lesz. Nagyon komplex, nagyon testes, az alkohol nem vészesen érződik. Annál inkább kávé, karamell, kis narancsos beütés, csak, rengeteg aszalt gyümölcs és kiemelkedő, hihetetlen íz intenzitással. Egyik legfinomabb ízesített stout ! Édeskés és krémes is, de az alap jegyek is nagyon jönnek, és brutál testes volt. (Orange & Coffee Oatmeat)

330 ml can. Pours a hazy amber with full head. Aromas of soapy wheat, coriander, citrus, and white pepper. Flavors follow same with more soap. Seems a bit thin for a wit/hefe.

Bottle picked up from Beyond Beer Webshop, Hamburg. Had this, shared with Baz 26th February 2026 at Jude and Baz's, Spond, Herefordshire we (mostly Loz) made Pizza for everyone, I just assisted.. Pours dark brown, peeling away at the edges, filmy top. The bourbon is quite forward, all told it's not quite as smooth as I would like but nonetheless it's a good Imperial Stout, liked it but yeah easily bettered by that stunning first Pōhjala this evening. Score 7.6

Bottle picked up from Drankgigant.nl, webshop, Vlissingen, Netherlands and consumed at home Saturday 21st February 2026 watching the Men's Curling Final GB v Canada, after a great Chicken Tikka Masala from The Curry Guy book. Pours pitch black, the head rapidly departed, thickness in the mouth, tangy, a little bit dark fruity, barrel ageing is clearly noted, a little stickiness, good. Score 7.8

On tap at Hops, Crewe. Pours almost black with minimal scummy tan head and good lacing. The aroma has malts, chocolate and biscuits. In the mouth it is quite sweet with a creamy texture. Flavour from the start is roasted malts, chocolate and coconut. But after a while some bitterness comes through along with some cocoa and traces of spice and honey. Bitterness lasts into the slightly dry finish. This is decent but it does take some time to get going.

Quite nice, bitter, juicy hops. Doesn't taste like wet newspaper.
