Amber coloured. Malty, yeasty aroma and flavour. A note of to much alcohol.

As i liked the original De Koninck, this one is also very nice. Amber colored, small head. Amber malty aroma, like De Koninck. Also tastes kind of the same, with a small note of alcohol. A bit stronger De Koninck, for the dark months of the year...

Cafe De Nieuwe Roos Ootmarsum, tap. Served way too cold to determine the aroma. Nice caramel flavor. Hoppy and the typical Koninck yeastiness. Sweetish and a bit thin, but a fine session beer.

I was expecting a little bit more. It's not a bad beer, but not very interesting as well. Technically perfect, well balanced, but it lacks a 'wow!'. Yeasty, light caramel aroma. Brown color, light brown head, good lace. Sweet, light spices, some bitterness on the back of your tongue. Sweet and caramel finish.

deep clear red-amber colour, few head, malt and prune aroma with spiced notes, sweet, medium-bodied, dry malty finish - subtle and pleasant

Sampled draught at Akkurat, Stockholm, Sweden.
Ruby. Coloured. Flowery hop aroma. Dry nose, nicely malty - near full body. Fruity and clean with a flowery bitter finish.

Clear amber with a medium creamy head. Spicy, malty, sweet taste. A nice beer. It is like a normal de Koninck but with double taste.

It tastes just like the normal Koninck.
3.9 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 16/20
After a long time, the darker, stronger version of the ubiquitous Antwerpen’ ale is finally marketed officialy (=Winter King, also wordplay on Dutch for wren). Fresh horsechestnut colour, earthy smell with molasses or dark sugar. taste both bitterness from hops as from dark malts. Underlying sweetness. Not very thick mouthfeel, long bittereffect, becoming more outspoken hoppy.
