B.O.M. Brewery
Bree, Belgium
Full Moon 12
A self-described parody of another classic Belgian beer that may or may not have “12” in its title (the monks threatened legal action if the word “parody” was used on the label). Clocking in at a perfectly cellar-able 10.2%, Full Moon 12 is brewed with a secret blend of freshly-roasted B.O.M. malts and aged on home-toasted, Belgian-grown oak chopped by the brewer himself.
Kinky Berry
A truly complex fruit beer made with real cherry, blueberry, B.O.M. roasted blueberry, blackberry, elderberry, apple, pear and banana. Juniper berries, orange and citrus peels add additional complexity on top of a six-malt blend and dry hopping, pouring a lustrous ruby red.
Triporteur from Hell
Ringing in at a devilishly exact 6.66%, Hell ages well, with a flavor reminiscent of fresh-brewed coffee and just-baked bread. The name comes from the malts used, which van Hecke describes as “roasty, toasty and burned!”
Triporteur from Heaven
A thoroughly hopped and dry hopped ale, loosely categorized as a Blonde. B.O.M.’s first brew, this alluringly cloudy ale beckons with a fruity aroma and smooth, snappy flavor from traditional English hops and B.O.M. wheat malt, amongst others.
