My favorite beer producing
country is Belgium. I really enjoy the Belgian styles of beer. Ichtegem’s Grand
Cru 6.5% ABV is brewed in Ichtegem Belgium By Brewery Strubbe, This is Flemish
Red Ale aged or matured in oak Barrels. This beer pours a dark red almost a black
color with a little tan head that leaves nothing behind. The aroma is like a
smooth or faint cheery with a little cola aroma. The taste has a faint fruit
taste to it that is a little cheery flavor with a bit of sourness to it. The
flavors are smooth with this and yes you get a little bit of oaky flavor towards
the end with the faintest vanilla flavor. The mouth feel is smooth with a touch
of sour, and this Flemish red has nice sour cheery aftertaste that linger
enough for ones enjoyment. I found this to be surprisingly good. I think the
oak barrels work like magic on this beer. It really brings out the already
great flavors within the beer and just makes them even better. It also adds
another layer of flavor that makes this beer an A+. I really enjoyed this beer.
I found to be easy to drink as well. I highly recommend trying
Ichtegem’s Grand Cru. It’s SO good! Cheers!
Please enjoy responsibly!
