At the end of 2020 we brewed the Melkmeisje, a Pastry Stout that won prizes at the Dutch Beer Challenge 2021. Half of this brew without the additions of chocolate, vanilla and almonds has rested for a year in Plantation Rum barrels. Coffee and chocolate from the malt hopper remain, and aging in barrel has given the beer notes of rum and raisins. It has become a smooth, round and complex beer to enjoy with attention.
Schmeckt nach Rum und Rohrzucker. Dazu ein weicher Körper und unterschwellig jede Menge Schokolade. Dazu noch leicht rauchige Fassaromen mitsamt Holz. Da ist viel drin, so richtig …
