Taste the flavors of barrel aged beer
Barrel aged beer, barrel aged in English, is miles away from the standard lager. The beers are dark, high in alcohol, and full of complex aromas. For this reason, they are especially popular among seasoned craft beer lovers. But even as a less experienced beer drinker, you're sure to enjoy them - just take it easy! Usually dark beers with a lot of alcohol, such as imperial stouts, are used for barrel aging. During barrel aging, the beer not only takes on the flavor of the wood, but also of the liquids that have previously sat in the barrels. These can be other beers as well as spirits such as whiskey, bourbon, sherry, port or rum. Maturation time can vary from a month to several years; the longer the beer sits in the barrel, the more the flavor changes.
Discover barrel aged beers from Uiltje
You may know our brewery mostly for its super fresh beers, but we also have a pretty impressive selection of more mature beers. We take some of our heavier beers, such as imperial stouts, barley wines, quadruples and bocks, and rest them in our top secret barrel room in a remote corner of our brewery. There, our heavies mature in barrels that have previously held spirits - usually for at least a year. When we think it's time, we open the barrels, let them recover for a while in our beer tanks and put them in cans or glasses. Do you dare to taste them? Then order quickly, because these beers are being released in limited editions!
