Vicaris Winter is a dark brown beer with a beautifully coloured head and rich aroma. Like the Vicaris Generaal, it is brewed using three varieties of malt and two hops. Our winter beer is the only Vicaris beer to which herbs are added and is therefore ideal for savouring during cold winter nights. The use of a specific yeast strain, the complexity of the malt varieties and the addition of liquorice and star anise give this beer the most complex flavour pallet of the whole Vicaris range.

Bottle vintage 2012. Coffee bean pour with some bubbling foam. Nose: blast of dried plums, some freshness despite the vintage, vanilla. Mouth: initial frizzy carbonation, thin body, the overall is rather bitter.

330ml bottle @Luppolo Station (Rome). Bruna, intensa, mediamente torbida, schiuma ecrù leggera. Al naso uva passa, pan di spagna, marsala, zucchero di canna. In bocca è abboccata, con chiusura amara a bilanciare, leggero retrogusto di mandorla. Corpo medio, inferiore alle attese, carbonazione soft. Ossidata, ma ancora abbastanza gradevole.

Robijnrood bier met mooie schuim kraag. Smaak is warm zoet en licht kruidig met iets van karamel, wat kruidnagel, anijs en chocolade. Voor mij een top bier.

At 10% abv I would call this Belgian brew a quadrupel. But that is just me. In my possession is a 33 cl bottle of Winter 10 that is ready to go into my Delirium snifter. Nice in appearance, I determine a mahogany body finished with a slender but consistent mauve tan head. The scent follows, dark fruit predominantly, a bit of a vinous effect, yeast and chocolate. I have a taste, oh, this is good, figs, dark chocolate, grain, malt, cane syrup and candi sugar. A bit of bitterness completing. High level, I am enjoying this but then I do like my Belgians.

On tap at the 13th Brugge beer festival, Brugge, Belgium. A dark brown coloured pour with a medium beige head on top. Fruity, malty, caramel, spice aroma and taste. OK Belgian winter beer.
