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.
