Description
All Dikke Jan beers are brewed by ourselves at the DECA brewery in Vleteren (Woesten). This brewery has a long historical background. The unique thing about this very special artisanal brewery is that it is still brewed in the old maisch tub. She is no less than one hundred years old! Fermentation also still takes place in open copper and stainless steel vats. Top beers are brewed here in the old fashioned way.

Bottle at home. Brown color, light red glare coming through when held into the light. Aroma is malts, caramel. Flavor is malts, caramel, burnt sugars lightly, a bit sweet and a bit bitter. Quite an okay quad I'd say. Solid.
