COMMERCIAL DESCRIPTION
Beside the ‘Bloesem Bink’, you can also enjoy a second seasonal beer, the ‘Winterkoninkske’. This beer is, just like the others, unfiltered, not pasteurized, with secundary fermentation in the bottle. The ‘Winterkoninkske’ is the ideal beer to make a cold and chilly winter evening pleasant. The ingredients are: seven types of malt (among which rolled oats), two belgian types of hop, brewing liqour and yeast. Our winter beer is a dark and heartwarming beer with a pure, sugary flavour and a long, bitter aftertaste. The alcohol content of this heavy beer is 8,3 % vol.alc.

I wanted something really sweet that evening, and I’ve found something that satisfied me. Even the long bitter aftertaste made me crazy! ;-) Fruity and with a nice head.

JorgeLee (718) - Greater London, ENGLAND - NOV 10, 2012
On tap at Moeder Original. Very deep black colour with thick white head. Malty character, full sweetish flavour (in retrospect can see the oat content in the texture), just a hint of some yeasty spice, a little boozy, just enough hop to cut and make it drinkable. A nice warming wintry beer.

thebusstop (172) - Rochester, New York, USA - NOV 9, 2012
This is a really tasty beer. A little natural subtle sweetness of cherry paired with more potent and bold flavors typical of a dubbel. The nose is not equally as strong and is its weakest link. The palate is multi-layered and very drying. This tops my list of enjoyable beers for flavor.

wlajwl (2901) - Quad Cities, Iowa, USA - SEP 25, 2012
The aroma is dark fruit, yeast, malts and an edge of the juniper berries. The flavor is very nutty malts, dark fruit and a mix of grain sweetness and tartness in the finish.

Caramel and toffee with a little whiff of alcohol aromas. Sweet toffee and caramel flavors. Good!
