Dark Winter Ale, red wine "Bordeaux" barrel aged

"Stille Nacht (Silent Night) is a prestige beer from De Dolle Brouwers, brewed for Christmas. It has a very potent beer (12% alc/vol). It has been boiling for many hours, brewed with pale malt with white candy sugar in the kettle. The Nugget hops gives an extra bitterness to balance the extreme sweetness due to the density. The taste triangle is completed with some acidity of the fermentation. It is a very interesting beer to age."

"We grow these raspberries ourselves and put them whole in a steel tank with lambik of at least one year old for about four to six months. A bit of younger lambik is added before bottling to referment in the bottle. We strive to have 350 grammes of raspberries per liter of beer."

"Our take on a classic style of beer. A blend of fresh and aged Flemish brown Ale. 60% of the blend was aged for over 1,5 years in a red wine foudre and after that the beer was aged for another year in bordeaux wine barriques. We also blended in a few bourbon barrel aged brown ale to give the blend a hint of American oak."

Collaboration with Granizo, Vermouth barrel aged flemish sour ale.

"Dark Winter Ale, brewed for the dark months of the year. The beer contains spicy flavors and you may even notice a slightly sweet taste. We work with burnt sugar & every year we change the spice/fruit/sugar. This year we added fresh fig leaves and medlars in the boil."

"In the past Port wine was shipped to the harbours of Bruges and Antwerp on wooden barrels of 650 liters, called ‘pipes’ or ‘pijpen’ in Dutch. Some of these barrels were purchased by Lambic breweries and have contained Lambic for many generations. Some barrels have been circulating in other, some defunct, Lambic breweries before finding their final place in the barrel cellars of Oud Beersel. We have blended the finest Lambics of on average 20 months old matured on these ‘old pipes’ of between 60 and 120 years old, to create an Oude Geuze with the characteristics of these old barrels."

Saison with Czech hops. BBD is 30/10/2024

"When the hop farmers start harvesting, we start brewing our Hop Harvest. The fresh, undried hop flowers are picked in the morning, and on the same day they are used in the Hop Harvest-brew, straight from the field. Because we use 'wet hops', the beer has a fresh, floral, and pleasantly bitter taste. By changing the recipe every year, the outcome is always a surprise. Drink this beer young if you can, that's when the wet hop shows of their floral character the most."

"For the first time ever, a Caribbean Chocolate Cupcake! This fun little number takes the ABV down a notch while still aiming to give you the big mouthfeel, indulgent chocolate and rich drinking of the original. In order to achieve this, we’ve built the recipe from the ground up. An addition of Chocolate Rye in the grist is particularly interesting, which layers in milk chocolate mid-notes in contrast to the more dark chocolate vibe you’d ordinarily expect in these beers. The proportion of roast malts were also lowered to promote the soft chocolate profile. We use Madagascan vanilla to bring in the ‘frosting’ element on a cupcake, helped along by wafer notes from the Cypress wood."

"One of two wildcards this year is a very special Salted Cherry edition, you could say this is a coming together of a Caribbean Chocolate Cake and a Black Forest Gateau. With slightly less cacao than the original, the beer opens up to allow the cherry to come through. We’re using a blend of Montmorency, Morello and Balaton cherries which add acidity and tartness along with the delicious compote vibe, with everything then lifted again by Pink Himalayan Sea Salt. The combination of ingredients is playful on the palate, with each element taking turns to lure you into thinking it’s the star of the show. We love how salt changes the expression of the chocolate, while also changing the mouthfeel of the beer in a great way."
