cornet oaked- strong blond 8,5%

Oak is a wood full of character – robust, aromatic, and resilient. It’s not only found in furniture, timber framing, and doors, but also lends its distinctive flavor nuances to barrels used for wine and spirits. Brouwerij de Hoorn utilizes the aromas of oak in a particularly refined way: instead of classic barriques, they use gently toasted oak chips to mature their fine beers. Their Cornet Oaked Strong Blond, among others, matures on these small flavor bombs after its initial fermentation. This treatment imparts exquisite vanilla and wood notes to the beer, which beautifully complement its refreshing character.

De Hoorns Cornet Oaked Strong Blond pours a clear, radiant gold into the glass, forming a crown of dense, creamy foam. The olfactory bouquet is complex: exotic vanilla, fruity nuances, spicy malt, and delicate meadow herbs combine to create an inviting aroma.

On the palate, the beer unfolds with a full, velvety presence: sweet malt notes and Belgian yeast form the base, while the oak chips provide fine woody accents and subtle vanilla notes. The well-balanced bitterness and a hint of minerality ensure a harmonious finish that lingers long after the last sip. With a substantial 8.5% alcohol content, Cornet Oaked Strong Blond is a robust brew that impresses with its harmony and well-rounded aroma. For those who prefer a milder beer, Cornet Oaked Gold Blond offers a delicious alternative.
