Val-Dieu
This beer pours an amber brown color with an ample tight head. Its taste and aroma are cake/bready in malt and a plum/pear in fruitiness. Big malt and big fruity esters is what one expects out of a Grand Cru and the Val-Dieu delivers. Not as heavy in body than some grand cru but all the flavor.
Val-Dieu Winter 750ml
This dark brown brew pours with a thin head. The aroma is malty with dark fruits, candy sugar and a hint of chocolate. The flavor is of grapes and figs lightly spicy with a solid malt base. Medium body verging to the start of syrup. Excellent Belgian Winter beer.
