Description
Looking for the real taste of Antwerp? Since 1833, there has been just one address: our Antwerp City Brewery. Because when people get together in Antwerp, they do so more often than not with a Bolleke Koninck in their hand. And that’s how De Koninck has become synonymous with Antwerp –and vice-versa. Every day, we work hard to uphold this proud tradition while also experimenting on ways to perfect and reinvent the taste of Antwerp.

Flaska från SB. Klar gyllengul vätska med medelhögt vitt skum. Estrig och jästig fruktig doft och smak. Säd, vitt bröd, marsipan och värmande alkohol. Stiltypisk men kanske lite extra banan och lite endimensionell. Ok

Draught. Very deep brown colour, small off-white creamy head. Aroma is coffee, chocolate, some mild floral notes. Flavour is coffee, chocolate, some toffee and mild fruity and floral notes. A wee bit of alcohol to it, but still very smooth.

Draught Very good, dense & fine yellow head; almost opaque cola-coloured beer. Gingerbread indeed, speculoos spices and - indeed bis - cola. Sweet & spiced, but not overdone. Bitterish-spicy upon sweet "pastry" underbuild, cake, speculoos. Hints at chocolate; finish is gingerbread with spices - again nòt overdone. Chewy, well-bodied, good carbonation, long lasting flavours. "Not overdone" is the word here. It's palatable - quite so - which is not what I had to say about Lost in Spice.

Imperial stout aged on Jack Daniels barrels by De Koninck – now under Moortgat – but only available from tap at their city brewery in Berchem, Antwerp. Cheers Steve! Creamy, medium sized, pale greyish beige, dense, slowly opening head; very dark mahogany brown robe with ruby red edges, so not entirely ‘black’ as one tends to expect from this style. Aroma of dried fig, walnut oil, fried black olives, indeed clear sweet and boozy Jack Daniels, caramel, armpit sweat (oddly), porcini, clear vanilla-scenting oak wood, dry clay, unsugared bubblegum, toast. Sweetish onset, old raisins and dried prunes, slight umami edge (dried porcini), softish carb, full and oily body; very slick caramelly, bit walnutty and lightly toasty malts dried by strong, vanilla-scenting oakiness mixed with quite pronounced leafy hops and warming, obviously bourbon-flavoured alcohol, long and warming but avoiding unpleasant astringency. Balanced, tasty, well-constructed stout, if very sleek and streamlined, as I suppose is to be expected from the industrial brewery behind it.
