Grand cru versie van de Nieuw Ligt. Eenmaal per jaar brouwen wij deze extra sterke variant en deze leggen wij een aantal jaar weg om te rijpen.
Aan ieder om te bepalen wanneer deze gedronken wordt, maar wij raden aan om te wachten tot 5 jaar na bottelen.

Had this at T’Arendsnest, Amsterdam, 03.03.12 hazy dark amber in colour. This is thick and sweet, in fact a touch too syrupy for me. Heavy on the alcohol, really warming actually decently hoppy. This is good but not great. A6 A3 T7 P4 Ov13 3.3

(Bottle, 0.33 l - 2009 vintage, at Gastropub Tuulensuu, 20110915) The beer poured reddish brown and quite clear. Its head was small and white. Aroma had malts, vineousness and treacle. Palate was full bodied, warming and dry with medium carbonation. Flavours were malts, raisin, treacle, vineousness, caramell and low bitterness. Aftertaste had malts, treacle and bitterness. Very sweet beer at this point but still quite good. More aging perhaps would improve the taste.

33 cl bottle @ Tuulensuu. 2009 vintage, BBE 2014.
No head, a lot of viscosity. Aroma is rich with sweetness and raisins. Soft palate, some raisins and spices. No hints of alcohol except the warmness. Like a 5 year old vintage ale.

Rating Grand Cru 2009, opened 23 April 2011. Nice dark amber colour, small and light bubbles, small beige head. Aroma of caramel, honey, madeira, port, raisins and mango. Nice malty tones. Full flavour, rather sweet, caramel, raisins, dried fruits and malts. Strong alcohol notes. Finish sweetish but dry, ends rather abrubtly. (from 33cL bottle)

A treacly dark toffee beer in a light frothy palate. There is an overiding sweetness from start to finish. Moderate carbonation. Not too bitter.3.5
3rd April 2011
On tap at the Arends Nest, Amsterdam. Clear reddish amber beer, tidy white head. Smooth semi dry palate. Rich orange and dried fruits with cherry taking a lead. A little brandy and a trace of port. Sweetish cream underneath. Dry finish. Yum! Sophisticated beer! Much better than the 2005.

[330ml bottle, 2005 edition, gift from my wife - cheers!] Deep copper amber, negligible head, a lot of fine sediment in suspension. The slight fizz is just right for the beer. Heady, fruity port aroma. Huge alcohol burn continues throughout, but works with rather than against the beer. Caramel dominates, but with tons of sweet fruit (raisins, apples, rhubarb) thrown in. There’s a slight bitterness and dryness in the finish which, along with the carbonation, balances the sweetness well. A lovely sipping beer that made a decadent match for the blue cheese, crackers and quince jelly that I had it with!

2005 European bottle via a trade with bu11zeye. Pours with a murky brown body with a minimal head at best. Aromas are of cereal, brown sugar, dark fruits, raisins, black currants, fruit cake, alcohol, old curacao, and saw dust. Flavors of alcohol, grand manier, baked bread, citrus icing/glaze, cereal, white wine, lightly vinous. Caramel, toffee, decently bitter. Medium to light mouthfeel, surprisingly light body (all things considered); the beer has medium to light levels of carbonation. Big bubbles. Lots of booze. Good, could probably age a bit longer, but I think it would take more than age and hope to turn this beer from good to great.
