Val-Dieu Grand-Cru
Roasted malt, chocolate and port on the nose; on the palate caramel sweetness with soft coffee and nut notes, round and ending in a long aftertaste. Dark brown with red glints under a dense beige head. This 10.5 % quadrupel is brewed by hand in the monastic tradition at the heart of the abbey, using Gileppe dam water.
Tasting Notes
AI-generated sensory profile for Val-Dieu Grand-Cru
Serve at 12–14°C. This is a contemplative beer — warmth unlocks the dark fruit, caramel and complex malt.
The wide mouth and heavy base promote head formation and channel rich aromatics toward the nose. Traditional for Belgian strong ales.
Built for cellaring. Age 2–5 years for deeper complexity. Store upright at 12–16°C.
