Swiss-inspired Obstler barrel-aged Grand Prestige, with apple, pear, cherry and plum notes that celebrate the richness of the Rhine.
We created our own Swiss-style Obstler by combining apple, pear, cherry and plum brandy oak barrels into a complete finish with a deep, fruity flavor profile that enhances our Grand Prestige. The river Rhine has its source in the Swiss Alps, and this beer brings together all those rich flavors as a true testament to the richness of the Rhine.

Robijnrood tot Donkerbruin bier.
Aroma is fruitig van kersen en jeneverbes.
Smaak is vol fruitig, zacht zoet, pruimen, jeneverbes en kers.
De bitterzoete smaak blijft even hangen.

Bottle shared. Brown to red-brown color, small beige head. Aroma is very odd. Indeed somewhat fruity, but is it juniper berry, apple, or what? Flavor is malts, apple, unripe pear, herbal a bit. The barrel dominates and in my opinion it should add something, a new layer to the base beer but it overtakes it fully. So, while I also have my doubts in general about these kind of barrels, this barrel aging is -imho- not very well executed.

Fles gedeeld met Keukenman, Roelzie, Inoven en Benzai. Het is een troebel donkerbruin bier. Het heeft een aroma van keren en hout tonen. De smaak is vol fruitig, zacht zoet, kersen, pruimen en vanille achtig.
