HOUTGERIJPT WILD DONKER BIER MET BRAMEN
Woekering kennen we als een ongewenst proces, iets dat de regels aan zijn laars lapt en beteugeld moet worden wanneer het te dichtbij komt. We snoeien doornstruiken, wieden onkruid en verdelgen parasieten zodat wij geen last van ze hebben. Maar is onze wens om vrij te zijn van ongebreidelde wildgroei niet hetzelfde als de wens om zelf te woekeren? Om te kunnen bepalen wat er gebeurt, het hoogste woord te hebben, om overal gezien te worden en onze tentakels zo ver uit te slaan dat wij zelf niet meer beteugeld kunnen worden. Woekering is ons eigen. Woekering geeft ons ook vrije toegang tot geneeskrachtige (on)kruiden en zoete bessen in bermen en bossen, en biedt schuilplaatsen voor wilde dieren. Woekering van wilde gisten maakt onze bieren tot wat ze zijn. Met Doorn belichten we de creatie, het scheppende aspect dat onderdeel is van woekering.
Doorn is een donker vineus bier met licht notige toetsen en aroma’s van rood fruit. Een zacht zuur, rond en mild bier met een licht houtkarakter van 12 maanden rijping op eikenhout. Na de houtrijping heeft Doorn nog bijna 4 maanden op hele, handgeplukte bramen gelegen. Doorn komt uit een enkel vat, de oplage is zeer beperkt.

Ah, Nevel. I appreciate their philosophy, and like their concepts, I just never really "get" their beers. Sure, it's tasty but not great to me. Leathery, sour, oaky, some good blackberries, and pretty vinous. Tasty, but meh?

Batch #2. Dark with beige ring head. Mild sour and firm earthy & fruity blackberries, big old oak notes, rotting rainbarrel, and some soft sickly lactic milkfilmy touch. Tasty eerie dark forest pool. Balsamico & cassis. Pretty lovely.

Licht zuur, wat balsamico en tjokvol bramen. Niet helemaal mijn ding, maar wel prima bier

17 August 2019. At Gents Bierfestival X. Cheers to Anke, Kevin & the crew! Hazy dark brown, lasting, thin, foamy, tan head. Aroma of blue grape, cranberry, sour cherry, toast, wood, nuts. Taste is medium fruity sour, offering a basket of brambleberry, grapes, cranberry & cherry with a fitting undertone of nuts, caramel & toast, leading to a dry, herbal hoppy finish, somewhat earthy & woody with lingering subtle red fruits. Medium body, slick texture, fizzy carbonation. Excellent feeling of 'autumn' in a Sour beer.
