De Koninck Winter is a stronger variation on the 'Bolleke'. It contains more dark and roasted malts (more plato's), also giving it a higher percentage of alcohol.

As i liked the original De Koninck, this one is also very nice. Amber colored, small head. Amber malty aroma, like De Koninck. Also tastes kind of the same, with a small note of alcohol. A bit stronger De Koninck, for the dark months of the year...

Sampled draught at Akkurat, Stockholm, Sweden.
Ruby. Coloured. Flowery hop aroma. Dry nose, nicely malty - near full body. Fruity and clean with a flowery bitter finish.

After a long time, the darker, stronger version of the ubiquitous Antwerpen'' ale is finally marketed officialy (=Winter King, also wordplay on Dutch for wren). Fresh horsechestnut colour, earthy smell with molasses or dark sugar. taste both bitterness from hops as from dark malts. Underlying sweetness. Not very thick mouthfeel, long bittereffect, becoming more outspoken hoppy.
