Commercial Description:
This special ale has been developed in honour of the brewing in the late Middle Ages when the farmers could not work in the fields during the winter months and therefore had time to devote themselves to brewing ale. Winter Koninck is a deep amber-coloured top-fremented ale with 6.5% Alc. vol. and a full-bodied flavour.

Poured reddish brown with a small off white head. Aroma was spicy, some cinnamon in there and sweet candy sugar. Flavor was’nt quite as good as the aroma, pretty malty and plain, not very good.

best before 06 09 08 ..... looks like diet coke ... pours with a low head ..."ya, whatever mother fucker" ... slightly fizzy on the tongue ... dusty, old golden syrup, calorie free chocolate flavours ... disappointing to say the least... not worth the anticipation or money, so many better belgians out there...

A very nice Belgian with nothing extraordinary going for it. Ruby brown, very small head, wonderful lacing. Sweet winter fruits, dates and figs, dark malt, a touch of winter spice, and a bitter finish.

POurs a dark mahogany color with nice reddish highlights. Fairly large puffy head that shrinks with time. Nose is very malty and sweet but also bread like and spicy. Taste is mild with some spice and malt, nice clean finish and highly quaffable but at the expense of a think mouthfeel and uncomplex taste.
