Brewed byHuisbrouwerij De Halve Maan (Brugge)
ABV11 %
Tasting notesAn exceptional Christmas special. Each year the master brewers of De Halve Maan hold over a limited amount of the already wonderful Straffe Hendrik Quad. This is then barrel aged in the brewery's medieval cellars. The brewers then chose the perfect blend of these aged quads to create something very special. At 11% this is a beer to sip and enjoy.
Master tasting notes and other info
This beer is only brewed from time to time and is not part of our standard range.

Flavour
The tannins from the barrels come in harmony with the rich notes of the special malts in the beer. In combination with the subtle taste of the wood aging and the young Quadruple beer it creates a unique and powerful blend. Thanks to the re-yeasting in the bottle the taste keeps on developing year after year.

Colour
Our Xmas blend has an intens dark brown colour.

Scent
Depending on the origin of the barrel this aging will also bring forward diverse aromas. Not only new wood from American and French origin is used, we also use preloved barrels from Whisky, Rum, Bordeaux, Calvados, etc.
