There are many beers with different characters, whether due to their flavour, level of alcohol, region of production, colour, etc. One might think that the belong to no category. In reality, there are all placed in a category know as " Belgian Specials" , a bit of a catch-all, but distinguished by the fact that these beers are found only in Belgium.
This Struise beer is a Imperial Stout beer. Pours pitch black with a small head. Aroma of roasty malts, syrup, wood, oak, honey, hints of tart green apples, calvados and grapes. Taste is smooth, slightly syrupy and sweet, hints of stingy wood, oak, tart green apples, licorice, honey and warming alcohol. Finish is slightly boozy and syrupy with some wood and green apples, hints of honey and grapes.
Brewed at Omer Vander Ginste brewery, Tripel LeFort is a golden blonde beer of 8.8% ABV and sets itself apart through its crisp, fruity aroma and beautifully rounded full flavour. The top-fermenting yeast used for Tripel LeFort results in a beer with vanilla-clove aromas as well as a fruity taste of bananas and red apples. Pleasant hints of citrus, lime and roses make this into a balanced beer that is intriguingly complex at the same time.
Triple d'Anvers 8°, brewed by Brouwerij De Koninck (Duvel-Moortgat), and delivered worldwide, is a top-fermented Belgian beer . In the glass it shows an amber colour tending towards blonde, capped with an attractive white head. From this white crown, the nose picks up aromas of yeast and hops with fruity notes of apples and of lightly toasted malt. The initial impression on the palate is slightly sugary with a good balance between the bitterness of the hops and a fruity freshness.
"Gruut" was a spice mixture used in the Middle Ages to flavor the light beer. The herbal mixture contained oat sage, trout, yarrow, rosemary, gale, pine needles and dead nettle. Hops were introduced later by the German monks and as a result the herbs disappeared.
For the Wittoen we do it the other way around and we replace the hops again with a number of old-fashioned herbs . In the end we obtain a subtly flavoured, amber colored beer . Definitely taste it!
