Grottenbier Bruin (330ml Bottle)

Description

The latest acquisition “Grottenbier” was created by Master Brewer Pierre Celis. It is an aromatic dark beer with 6. 5% alcohol content. In the marl pits in Kanne ( Belgium) and Valkenburg (the Netherlands), deep under the ground, you can taste the Grottenbier in a constant temperature of 11° Celsius. As it is the case with Champagne, the bottles are placed in a “pupitre” with results in an additional fermentation. This beer with a high fermentation with a second fermentation in the bottle has been pointed out as one of the best 10 present-day beers by beer guru Michael Jackson.

Tasting Notes

Chestnut brown beer with big beige head. Aroma is great and complex: malty sweetness, spicyness, anise, red currants, yeast. Flavour is also complex and nice, slightly sweet that turns in dryer in the end and spicies comes more cleary tastable. Quite easy to drink and carbonation is quite high. Slightly like Regal Christmal, very high quality and typical elements is found from this dubbel.
