Struise Brouwers - Zombination series

What if 9 of the most exciting breweries in Europe came together for a special collaborative brew? And what if that beer was an Imperial Stout of 17% a.b.v. on first fermentation which would be barrel aged in oak casks for a minimum of one year? Would you believe it? Would you be interested in a beer like that?

Well, that happened. On 17 October 2014. 

One of the ingredients used was honey, a highly fermentable adjunct which contributes sugar and thus boosts the gravity of the beer. Depending on how it is used it sometimes attributes subtle floral notes and in some cases is known to tone down bitterness without affecting hop character. Each brewer involved arrived at De Struise’s schoolhouse with their own honey, some homemade, others sourced in the locality of their brewery. These honey collections were then divided so that each brewery could take away samples of the other honeys enabling them an attempt at replicating the beer in their respective facilities. It seems that Zombination will follow in the footsteps of De Struise’s Black Damnation series, being aged in a variety of casks for at least one year to produce 7 different beers. ‘Zombination I’ will be the first release. The series will finish with ‘Zombination VII’.

I offer the complete Zombination series consisting of 7 bottles. I prefer to keep the lot together; for 550 eu the 7 x 75cl can be yours. Shipping from Belgium.

Limited to 7 x 900 numbered bottles.
