Our Grand Prestige, brewed with four different malts, is also described as barley wine. In the ripe, full taste, bitter and sweet are remarkably well-distinguishable.
The taste of Hertog Jan Grand Prestige is appreciated by connoisseurs and enthusiasts far beyond our borders, as proven by, among other things, the golden awards at various renowned beer competitions.
As Grand Prestige is stored for longer, that wonderful taste develops even further. After a few years, the taste is reminiscent of a beautiful old port wine.

300 ml. bottle @ Café Kandinsky. Appearance is dark wood, brown, small mocha. Nose is thick wood, dark fruits mixed with liquorish, sweetish liquorish, light varnish but not in an unpleasant way,… Taste is thick wood, sweet molasses, syrupy, faint cherry, dark red fruit syrup, spices, light alcohol,… Spirit body,… I get why this is an old school classic. I rather liked it.

Shared bottle. Dark brown with medium sized ran head. Lots of marzipan, red apple, bubblegum, spices, gingerbread, brown sugar. Like my mothers apple pie... Very boozy. Very sweet with alcoholic bitter finish. Full bodied. Better then I expected, especially for a beer that needs artificial coloring. Still a nasty alcoholic mess though.

Oct. ’14. A 0.75 l bottle (2009 vintage), thanks to Borresteijn who gave it to Marko and me! It poured hazy copper brown body with quite a small head. Strong alcohol presence in the aroma. Other than that, I got caramel and some rusty notes mixed with raisins. Flavor was lightly bitter at first, from alcohol bite, then fine sweetish malt came into the focus, dried fruits, caramel and brown sugar. Less complex actually than expected from an aged ale. Oxidation (metallic note) was still present, unfortunately. Since it’s heavy, body was rather full, but long finish omitted, emphasized only some light but pleasant sweeter caramel. Warming for sure. Although not bad, didn’t impress me for a Belgian-style ale; if it’s truly a quadruple, even worse.
