Brasserie Duyck, established in 1922 in Jenlain in northern France, brews this Winter Ale as part of their classic bière de garde range. A traditional French seasonal beer at 6.8% ABV, it combines barley, wheat from Beauce, and three Alsatian hop varieties in the recipe.

The nose is malt-forward and restrained, with toasted aromas characteristic of the bière de garde style. On the palate, caramel and toffee notes take centre stage, balanced by gentle hop bitterness. The beer presents a full, rounded mouthfeel with a clean, dry finish.
