Hertog Jan Grand Prestige Beer – A delicacy from the Netherlands.
Being included in the top 100 beers in the world is an honor not bestowed on many beers. The Hertog Jan Grand Prestige beer can be counted among these 100 lucky people. When the Süddeutsche Zeitung published a ranking of the best beers in the world in 2009, Hertog Jan Grand Prestige was among them and has experienced real hype ever since. At 10% vol., the Barley Wine from the Netherlands is a full-bodied, high-proof wine and, in addition to the percentages, scores above all with its unique taste.
Typically barley wine, the Grand Prestige beer is also a very dark, almost black-looking drink that develops strong aromas as soon as it is poured into the glass. A beguiling malt sweetness rises to the nose, a hint of roasted aromas joins gentle caramel notes. The composition is accompanied by heavy fruit tones. Overall, the Grand Prestige beer comes across as powerful and dominant, but as the tasting progresses it gains an elegant fruity sweetness that pairs wonderfully with the bitterness of the hops and a delicate chocolate note in the finish.
The Hertog Jan Grand Prestige is a floral-fruity bouquet of heavy flavors and goes perfectly with dark meat, earthy vegetables and chocolaty desserts. The Hertog Jan Grand Prestige is not a beer that you want to drink straight away, it is more of a special treat for a nice time. It challenges the drinker and is extremely drinkable, but also complex and demanding.
