L’ Ensemble di Montalcino is a beautiful barley wine aged beer in Brunello di Montalcino barrels. This beer is brewed by the brewery De Dochter van de Korenaar which is situated in Belgium.

The L’ Ensemble di Montalcino has matured for approximately 1 year in these Brunello barrels. This gives the beer a strong infusion of red wine and tannins from the wood.
It is a very powerful and balanced barley wine which will certainly appeal to lovers of the better red wines.
With an alcoholpercentage of 13% and the subtle tones of fruit, wood and hop, it is a beer we absolutely loved. The strong taste of red wine made the beer very delicious and strong. This beer is an absolute gem of the brewery and we would certainly like to drink this beer again! Therefore, we rate this beer a 4,3/5

Jopen – Ex-Girlfriend BA Ruby Port & Jamaican Rum – beer review

Nick Riethoven — Tue, 30 Jun 2020 16:30:00 +0000

This beer is brewed as cold as your ex-girlfriend’s heart. So stop whining and crawl out of the dark corner of your room. This beer will warm your heart.

This limited edition beer is aged on Ruby Port and Jamaican rum barrels. Therefore, the beer has aromas of red fruit and wood. These aromas are followed by warm notes of chocolate, red fruit, nuts and spiciness from the rum.

The beer has quite a high alcoholpercentage of 11,3%. Therefore, it is a relatively strong beer to drink. We absolutely enjoyed the smooth, but full taste of this beer.
The flavour of Port and Rum are also reflected very well in this beer. Therefore we rate this beer a 4/5.

Jopen Meesterstuk 2019 – Beer Review

Nick Riethoven — Tue, 09 Jun 2020 17:30:59 +0000

In the Middle Ages, craftsmen produced a masterpiece (Meesterstuk) as an aptitude test. To honor the patron saint ‘Sint Maarten’ of the Haarlem brewers guild, Jopen started to brew a masterpiece every year in limited edition.

The Jopen Meesterstuk 2019 is packed with hints of chocolate, caramel and honey. Furthermore, it has an alcoholpercentage of 10%. The beer has quite a malty taste which we absolutely loved! You can also taste the grassy or floral notes when you drink it.
We had never drank a beer with these kind of flavours before, which made the flavour of this beer a true surprise to us.

We truly loved the smell of this beer and we were happily surprised by the flavour! The taste is definitely special for a limited edition beer. Therefore we rate this beer with a 4/5
