The world of beer is incredibly rich and divers. We want our beers to echo that diversity. We want to pair tradition with innovation,we respect our Belgian roots but we also keep track of evolutions in Belgium and abroad, Our brewing installation was custom built for us to enable us to go wide in beerstyles en wild in our experiments. From blonde to dark, bitter to sweet, malty to hoppy, fruity or roasted, quaffable or sturdy,…anything goes. We started our very first ‘brewmonth’ with a pale ale, afterwards we brewed a farmhouse tripel, aWest Coast IPA and a Baltic Porter. We immediately set the tone for what you can expect from us, a trip around the world in beer. Sometimes quite familiar, other times surprisingly new but always worth the travel.

Draught No head, hazy orange liquid. Higher alcohols, dried fruit as -indeed- peach or apricot. Sweet sherry-like. As a strong sherry with lots of sugars unfermented yet. Banana, peach. Rich, liqueurish, alcoholheat and -thinning, "under"carbonated. Good!! The sherry is really present. Which puzzles me, as the caption spoke about Sauternes BA ànd Pedro Jimenez.

Draught Small rim left over faintly carbonated golden beer. Sweet-grapey, raisins or sultanas, sweet grains & malts, dried peach or pineapple. Bitter onset, relieved by not that discreet carbonation. Again grains, breakfast cerials, if with a more greenery finish, almost suggesting acidity. Light body, surprisingly; better carbonated than it looks. Grew on me. Not a classical tripel in any way, but far from bad.

Draught Small white rim over lightly yellowish golden beer, bit still. Preserved citrus, winegrapes, demi-sec white wine, faint ureum, garden herbs. Sourish, fine sour berries, ditto grapes, white wine lightly soured with lactic acid and a touch of rhubarb. Medium bodied, bit undercarbonated if certainly not lifeless. Nice, quite OK hybrid.

Draught Small whitish rim left, over hazy brown-amber beer. Sweet, caramel, toffee, aromatic herbs (rosemary, lavender, thyme). Again caramel, preserved orange, orangeliqueur, red berries syrup, alcohol and some fusels. Rich, alcoholwarming, viscous, feels medium to well-carbonated. OK, if not spectacular.

Draught Small, stable rim over almost clear Bernsteinfarbiges beer. Not much aroma, bit of caramel. Dry caramel, if that rhymes, dry herbs, bit of straw, parsley. Light body, not very carbonated. Bit easy. But seen the fact that Anchor closes...

Appearance - 8 | Aroma - 8.5 | Flavor - 8 | Texture - 9 | Overall - 8.5

Draught Red-foxy-amber beer with fine pearling; no head. Sweet, raisins, a very strong fruitliqueur on winebase. Sweet, if dominated by a fiery alcoholflavour. Again raisins, partly roasted as in raisinbread, old brandy or Armagnac, prunes. Faint woody bitterness. Very "hot", rich, seeping voluptuous party dried fruit, alcoholheat especially backthroat. Fiery. That's the word. Must try.

Draught Yellow cream head, stable and lacey over pitch-black beer. Sweet roast, pecan nuts, BBQ sauce, ketjap. Dry, sweetish hints of ketjap underneath dry meatroast. Again (roasted) nuts as pecan, Brasil or walnut. Bit metallic finish, the New World hops featuring throughout. Well-bodied, without being really rich; medium to good carbonation. Quite good, an American taster would feel at home.

Appearance - 8 | Aroma - 7 | Flavor - 7.5 | Texture - 7 | Overall - 7

Draught Stable yellow-cream head over fully opaque brown-black beer. Roast, roasted grains (wheat, barley), hint of coffee and chocolate. Sweet roast, coffee-like bitterness. Dry finish, almost charcoal-like, but not overwhelming. Feels better bodied than it probably is. Slick and really dry finish. Nice, if not quite the black cow's milk.
