Description
Artisanally brewed in Amsterdam since 2011.

Combining influences from the rich European beer culture with a non-conformist attitude.

From a family heritage of Swedish farm brewers and trained by the masters of ale and porter in England, we ended up in the Netherlands to create our own microcosm in the world of beer.

Inspired by the lesser known sides of European brewing culture and devoted to uncommon artisanal techniques, Butcher's Tears makes distinctive beers that progress beyond fashion and convention.

Bottle courtesy of Kermis. Poured a murky dark brown with a thin very broken off-white head. The aroma is malt, molasses, yeast and a little toffee. The flavour is medium to weak bitter. Medium consistency with average carbonation and a watery slightly odd bitter palate.

330ml bottle. Fantastic, clear, ruby red mahagony colour with average, frothy, diminishing, beige head. Dark malty aroma with a nuttily touch, hints of chestnuts, marzipan, red berries. Taste is minimally tart fruity, bitter hoppy overtones, cautious dark malty basis with a nuttily touch. Promising aroma, slightly disappointing taste - lacks maltiness and body for a Bock.

(bottle, 33cl) Hazy, golden colour with a big and off-white foamy head. Citrus-fruity and flowery hoppy aroma with hints of pineapple. Mildly bitter flavour, light to medium bodied with a lively carbonation. Dry-ish and mildly bready malty taste with fruity and slightly spicy hops; dry, moderately bitter and slightly spicy hoppy finish. Not overly exciting. 03.XI.13

(bottle, 33cl) Hazy, amber colour with a big and slightly tanned foamy head. Fruity and slightly resiny hoppy aroma with notes of citrus, orange zest and a mildly cara-malty background. Moderately sweet and slightly bitter flavour, medium bodied with a slightly spritzy carbonation. Soft cara-malty base with present notes of mainly fruity and slightly resiny hops, getting slightly grassy towards the mildly sweet-bitter finish. Likeable, also very Belgian. 03.XI.13
