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 brown beer with a beutiful but disappearing head. The aroma is sweet and fruity. The flavor is sweet and malty with strong notes of cinnamon. It end on a nice bitterness. An good Christmas beer.

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.

(Bottle 33 cl) Beautiful, clear bronze colour, rather limited head. Typical fruity esters from the ale-yeast and a light sweetish, caramel-like aroma which is perfectly balanced by a prominent bitterness. Medium body and easier to drink than most other heavy Belgian winter/christmas-beers. 240205

75 cL bottle. Pours with whith and short-living head. Clear smell of of "De Koninck"-hops. Elements of yeast too. Taste is classical de Koninck with hops and malt. On top of this is a sweet taste of cinnamon together with vinous fruity/fig-like taste. Almost creamy texture but still light bodied. I’m not much of a De Koninck fan, this is better than their other beers, but still not amongst the best Belgian seasonal ales.

Amber colour with a big beige head. Sweet spicy aroma with notes of grass. The flavour is dominated by malty sweetness, spices and yeast.
