I'm here for the beers 12 - Hertog Jan Grand Prestige Beer

in #beer6 years ago

After my recent trip to Amsterdam some would have guessed that I would post a Dutch Beer. And you are right!

I headed to my Beer Shop and asked for a Dutch beer excluding the two obvious choices. With this criteria I was left with one option Hertog Jan brewery. I remember having posted a beer from them some time ago.

I would like to have tried something else, but there was no other Dutch beer available and the Dubbel beer I had was actually good. Searching for another beer shop would have meant not being able to post today, which is totally unacceptable. I have a posting streak to maintain.

So, here is Hertog Jan Grand Prestige Beer.

Hertog Jan is a brewery in the Netherlands, which is named after John I, Duke of Brabant.
This is their official site : https://www.hertogjan.nl/
Unfortunately, it is only in Dutch.
I think that they also operate a restaurant under the same name.

First of all the bottle. It is their iconic ceramic bottle that gives an aura of premium. See it and you say to yourself that’s a serious stuff.

Uncork it and pour a glass.

It’s dark reddish brown with a beige thin head.

It’s sweet. Caramel, cocoa and vanilla. But the beer is no vanilla at all. Rich in flavor and strong. A lot of alcohol ( 10%) and after 500 ml you certainly feel it.

Even though I enjoyed it, I have to admit that it is bit heavy for hot summer nights.

I could imagine drinking it besides the fireplace with roast meat full of fat.

I think my next beer will be a very light and refreshing one.

And until the next beer …

This beer is cool! You are right for him and the snack should be appropriate!

Yes , with the right snack it will be even greater.

Man I love this beer! Ceramic bottle and all, super premium. :)

Here is extremely expensive, maybe because the beer have to travel across the world...

One of my favorites. I'm also writing about beer. I already posted 7of my collection, but my posts aren't professional looking like yours.

Cheers mate.

Here is also expensive. I could say it is a premium in a premium bottle. I guess you need a lot of fuel to sent these beers to various places .

Looks delicious!! I'll try and have a taste when I get the chance!

Wish you will. It's a good one.

vintage beer hoping to see more

BOAHHH!!!

That one need to be conquered in my next Holland trip!

Hertig Jan is actually one of the nice mainstream breweries I find. Their lager is also super tasty and affordable. I LOVE the version dude

Thank you. The guy I buy beers has only the expensive ones.
I will keep in my mind next time I visit Holland.

Loving the the "good" beer posts. One thing about living in north Peru is that we do not have much in the way of good beers...and I love a good beer. I will be experiencing them vicariously thru you my friend!

Thank you :)
