About this release

This exceptional Wheat Wine has matured for no less than 660 days in Genever barrels from Dam Dranken in West-Terschelling, supplemented with one ex-Bordeaux barrel of 6 years and one ex-Bourbon barrel of 11 years old. The result is a rich and complex beer with notes of honey, oak, caramel and a subtle spiciness from the Genever. The long maturation provides depth and balance, with a velvety smooth finish and a hint of maritime character thanks to the Thalassa voyage of the barrels. This exceptional beer comes from the cellar of Eggens, a Dutch brewery from Groningen renowned for characterful and flavorful beers with an unmistakable passion for the brewing craft. The collaboration with Dam Dranken from West-Terschelling results in a masterpiece of craftsmanship and patience. This limited release showcases how extended maturation in wooden barrels can transform into something truly special. With an alcohol content of 11.5 percent, this beer has sufficient body and warmth to bring all the complex layers to their full potential. The subtle interplay between the different barrel characteristics and the original Genever base makes this a beer for enthusiasts who appreciate complexity and refinement. An absolute highlight for your beer collection and perfect for moments of contemplation.
