Hertog Jan Karakter is a true Dutch ale, made from the special Hertog Jan malts. Hertog Jan malts, a carefully selected prestige malt, consists of four different malts. This gives the beer a fruity taste with adult hits of bitter. Besides this, Hertog Jan Karakter has the full and warm color of copper.

Sweetish amber beer, with a metallic aftertaste. Not very good, but better than most pilsner.

Bottle from Albert Heijn. Poured a clear dark amber with a thin off-white head. The aroma is malt hops a little metallic and resin. The flavour medium bitter. Medium bodied with a resin palate and finish. Tasted better with food that without.

Clear copper colour, tan frothy head, stays a while thin layer remains., good lacing. Interesting aroma with caramel, sugar syrup, citrus, clove, ginger, raisin, some dough, clear copper. Light heavy sweet and laght bitter taste with fruity undertones (dates, apricot, plum). Full-bodied, creamy texture, soft carbonation, a bit more bitter in finish with some fruitiness, but in the end too much sugar.

Dość przeciętne jak na ten styl, belgijskie mocne ale zdecydowanie smaczniejsze. Ale i tak wyszlo ciekawe piwo, jak wiadomo ladna etykieta, a samo piwo ze spora piana, gruba lecz opadajaca szybko, kolor brunatno-bordowy. Smak karmelowo-wytrawny. Alkohol niewyczuwalny. Zabraklo mi drozdzowego aromatu i osadu jak w belgijskich tego typu piwach

30 cl. bottle @ home, bought @ Mitra. Copper colored with thin off-white head. Sweet malty aroma. Malty taste with some smoky roasted malts and considerable sweetness. Rather short aftertaste. Not the best Hertog Jan beer.

Aroma is stong, like rubbing alcohol. Caramal toffe flavors present but hidden behind the alcohol. Alcohol burn is at the forefront, even though it is not that strong. Was hoping for something a little better....
