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.

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.

Pours a clear copper body with a small beige head. Aroma is candy sugar sweet, malty and some raisin. Flavor is candy sugar sweet, some raisin, herbal hops and a bit of cinnamon. Finishes somewhat long and dry. Medium body, somewhat thin texture.
