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.

2016 vintage in 2020... no explosion, nice. Smell-medium strong, caramel, sweetness, cake, more caramel, iris, candy. Maybe one of sweetest smelling beers ever could be stronger though. Foam- thin, weak malt, faint caramel and not much else. Head is small, brown, white medium-dark to light. Sticks a bit. Appearance- resealable bottle, generally simple look. Very dark amber color, clear, no carbonation. From - snifter Taste - weak malt, caramel, sweetness, faint roast and not much else. Alcohol is VERY well hidden, the sweetness is very subtle but pleasant.. I must admit, that after some time alcohol does appear, but it is still not prominent at all, but it is where it all ends, it is sweet, caramel, malty, no Belgian notes, easy-drinking quadrupel somehow even when you feel it Yet all put together it feels lacking a bit.
