BEER

On 26 December 2006, already the second beer has been introduced !
Kroegbier Pater !

Another marvel has been brewed at Picobrewery Alvinne, that small artisanal brewery located in Ingelmunster - West-Flanders: Kroegbier Pater !
This beer is again brewed by brewmaster Danny Verbeke himself with the brew installation of Picobrewery Alvinne.
Time to taste !!
The label tells us that this beer is 9.5vol% strong.

Already we notice that this beer has a nice creamy beige head.
The color is dark to black, and hazy (bottle refermentation).
The head evolved into a thin creamy layer which never disappeared. Just perfect !!!!

Brewed with an original recipe from Danny and Nadine.
The label also mentions Brewery Verbeke-Demeestere.
Kroegbier Pater has become a true monks beer, and is clearly between Rochefort 10 and Westvleteren 12.
Tasting gave sweetness in the beginning. A dense mouthfeeling too, pleasant mushy and significant alkoholic.
Immediately we notice some fruitiness, followed by chocolat/roasty malts, and ending with a magistral hop bitterness, which had alot of difficulties to actually dissolve in the mouth. Note that Kroegbier Pater has a most respectable 40 IBU bitterness.
