December 2009 saw the birth of our Winterkoninske Grand Cru, a strong dark beer to enjoy with moderation. The use of different dark malts results in tones of chocolate, coffee and sherry. This makes it a perfect match for game dishes and chocolate desserts. The strongest winter beer of Limburg.

Winterkoninkske Grand Cru 13% 750ml from Ohtsuki, shared at a work party. Dark brown with a tan head. The aroma is nutty, chocolate and fruity. Full bodied and smooth. The taste is red berries, fudge and Malts with a light warmth. Very nice stuff.

28/11/2015 - 15cl sample, last beer @WBF2015, Bierhalle Deconinck Vichte. Dark brown with nice head. Mindblowing nose and taste, would even say a bit overdone. Definetly a beer too end with. Dark malts, chocolate, licorice, dark fruits, some wood, sweetness, some coffee, nice thick mouthfeel. WOW.

Sample from 2010 bottle during the 10th Annual Day Before Labor Day Party on 09/06/2015. The beer pours a dark brown-black color with a medium thick tan head that recedes gradually. Small patches of lace. Aroma of malt, dark fruits and yeast. Full-bodied with flavors of malt, earthy yeast, berries and figs. The finish is fruity dates and plums in the aftertaste. Pretty good all around.

6th Feb 2015: large sample from a 2013 vintage. De Bierboom (Brugge), cheers Filip for providing this lovely 0.75 litre bottle. Very dark pour to this spicy, strong ale: beige topping on the almost black body. The nose is all about dark fruits and malt molasses, sweet and interesting. The taste also dark fruits and malty, some vanilla and liquorice notes come through the sweetness: boozy feel with hidden spices in the finish. Far too easy to drink, and very pleasant in deed.

2011 bottle from Otsuki. Nose of chocolate, molasses, brown sugar, orange, spice. Brown with orange, flat. Nicely tangy flavor, oranges, spice, caramel and chocolate, brown sugar. Almost flat, just a bit of light carbonation, silky, just a bit too thin. Very good though.
