À propos

Kammeraat is a Russian Imperial Stout from De Kroon op Leeuwarden, brewer Ulco de Jong's ambitious craft brewery in Friesland. Named Best Stout in the Netherlands in 2016, this jet-black beer commands attention at 11.3% ABV and delivers a complex, full-bodied experience. Intensely roasted malt drives the profile, with pronounced notes of coffee, cocoa and toasted bread, rounded out by caramel and dried fruit undertones. The recipe draws on five malt varieties and three hop selections, with a distinctive addition of organic rosemary harvested locally in Leeuwarden. This regional touch adds an unexpected dimension. Kammeraat exemplifies De Kroon op Leeuwarden's unhurried, thoughtful approach to brewing—a beer built for depth and balance rather than trend.
