Jopen – Is That Spelt Ryeght – Beer review

Nick Riethoven — Tue, 27 Oct 2020 16:00:00 +0000

Is That Spelt Ryeght is already our last barrel aged beer from our beer box from brewery Jopen. This Porter has matured for more than 400 days in Scottish Glenburgie & Auchroisk whiskey barrels and it has an alcoholpercentage of 11%. Moreover, it is brewed with English hops which are 50% spelt- and 50% rye malt.

Is That Spelt Ryeght has aromas from raisins and wood and it definitely has a caramelly taste. Moreover, the colour of this beer is brown/black and it has a smooth whiskey flavour. Despite its high alcoholpercentage, it is a really easy beer to drink. We especially tasted caramel and whiskey in this beer and it tasted rather sweet than bitter.
It was a delicious beer to drink and therefore we rate this beer a 4/5.

Nick Riethoven — Tue, 13 Oct 2020 16:30:00 +0000

Sin & Remorse is another beautiful beer that we received in the beerbox from brewery Jopen. This beer has been brewed in collaboration with brewery De Molen and it has matured for 500 days on Ledaig and Isle of Arran whisey barrels.

The Sin & Remorse is a really dark beer with aromas of coffee, whiskey, wood and a hint of peat. It also has an alcoholpercentage of 10,5% and we especially tasted and smelled the whiskey in this beer. We were absolutely happily surprised by the taste of this beer. It tasted sweet, but also quite bitter and it is like an explosion of all different kinds of flavours in your mouth when you drink it. Moreover, we are a big fan of whiskey and you definitely smelled and tasted this in the beer. It was bsolutely an outstanding beer!
Therefore, we rate this beer a 4,8/5.

Blackberry Sour Barrel Aged – Jopen beer review

Nick Riethoven — Tue, 15 Sep 2020 16:30:56 +0000

The Blackberry Sour is a beautiful limited edition beer from brewery Jopen. This beer has matured for 548 days in different Bourbon barrels and it has a wonderful purple glow.
Furthermore, blackberries were added at the end of the brewing process. We definitely smelled and tasted this while drinking this beer.

The beer is quite complex with a malty base and it has aromas of chocolate, bourbon and vanilla. The aftertaste is sweet and sour due to the addition of blackberries.
We absolutely enjoyed this beer very much since we really loved the sweet and sour flavour. It is not too sour and the taste of dark fruit is amazing. Although the beer is a Bourbon barrel aged, the bourbon was not very present in the flavour. It rather tasted like a strong red wine or port.
Therefore we rate this beer a 4/5.
