Wijnberg

◎ Aussehen

Wijnberg presents a dark ruby-brown hue with excellent clarity and fine carbonation. The head builds moderately and leaves delicate lacing that clings to the glass. The color depth reflects the careful blending of young and aged components.

◌ Aroma

The nose opens with ripe stone fruit—cherry and plum—alongside notes of red grape that suggest the beer's subtle acidity. Cocoa and musty oak create a complex backdrop, with the wood aging contributing earthy, slightly funky undertones. The aroma is inviting and layered, neither aggressive nor shy.

◐ Geschmack

The palate arrives soft and round, with gentle sourness dancing against caramel sweetness in perfect equilibrium. Mid-palate reveals the influence of the aged foeder beer—a subtle vinous depth that lingers without dominating. The low bitterness (10 IBU) allows the interplay of acid and malt to take center stage, finishing smooth and remarkably drinkable.

◑ Abgang

The finish is medium-length and clean, with the sourness fading gracefully into a slightly drying aftertaste. A whisper of oak and cocoa persists on the palate, inviting the next sip.
