Description
Stadsbrouwerij de Dikke brouwt traditioneel Wijks Kuytbier naar de Utrechtse ordonantie van 1495. Hierin staat beschreven dat Kuytbier gebrouwen moest worden met een zeer groot gedeelte Haver als mout, de grondstof voor bier.
Omdat gewoon water vroeger niet gezond was om te drinken dronk iedereen bier. Door het brouwproces was bier betrouwbaarder dan water. Zelfs kinderen dronken bier, de dunne variant met 2% alcohol.
Het Wijkse bier was een zogenaamd dikbier (hoog alcohol-percentage van 6,5%). Vandaar de door ons gekozen naam.

33 cl. bottle @ home, bought @ W van Schaik, Vianen. Clear dark amber with virtually no head. Heavy caramel aroma with faint hops. Sweet taste with some astringency. Boozy finish. Not a very subtle barley wine but pleasant enough for the moment.

Bottle. Color: In netween ruby and copper, beige head. Taste: Pretty sweet, in combination with very noticeable hopbitterness, notes of raisins, lightly hints of nuts and red fruit. More bittery mouthfeel at finish. Medium to above medium body, below average carbonation. High alcohol percentage barely recognizable. Nice and smooth barley wine. I am curious how this beer tastes after longer ageing.

Bottle. Red bronze color. Aroma of malt, caramel, toffee and sweet red fruit. Taste is sweet and boozy, with malt, herbal hops, some iron and sweet candy-ish red fruit, especially strawberry. Not bad, it’s a little carbonated and that’s off-putting.
