Paterskloten (as called in the province of Vlaams-Brabant)
or Hondskloten (as called in the province of Limburg) or
Karnebroeken (as called around Bruges) are the common
local names for a variety of stew plums, called the Belle De
Louvain. The plums are typically rather large, egg-shaped,
and dark purple red-ish. Beginning of September 2020, we
macerated about 300 kilos of these on young lambik in an
ex-Bordeaux barrel. Prior to bottling, we blended with a
small portion of another two young lambikken.
Consequently, the fruit intensity is still at 745 grams of
Hondskloten per litre of plum lambik. 100% 3 Fonteinen
brewed lambik. Brouwerij 3 Fonteinen “Speling van het Lot”
(Twist of Fate) is a series of small batch experimental
brews, barrel maturations, fruit macerations and blends.
