Straffe Hendrik Heritage 75cl

Style and Colour: Quadruple dark beer matured in Bordeaux oak barrels.

Taste: The original spicy aromas and bitterness combine with the subtle flavours of the wine and wood. Not forgetting the hints of liquorice and black fruit, such as sultanas, plums and figs. Over time, Straffe Hendrik Heritage even develops aromas of port.

Alcohol: 11 % ABV 

Drinking Temperature: 8 - 12 °C.

Fermentation: The beer is matured for at least one year in Bordeaux oak barrels. This exceptional process gives the beer a wide range of flavours and aromas, which also has great potential to evolve over the years of storage. The tannins still present in the barrels harmonise perfectly with the rich notes of racy malts.

The Brewery: De Halve Maan is an authentic historic brewery in the centre of Bruges and a family business with a tradition going back six generations, i.e. since 1856. In 2016, the company made headlines around the world with a clever innovation: a 3 km underground beer pipeline connecting the brewery in the city centre to the bottling plant outside the city.

Origin: Hendrik is the equivalent of Henri in honour of the four Henri's who have run the brewery since 1856.
