Struis from Brouwerij 't IJ is a full-bodied, dark brown barleywine from Amsterdam at 9% ABV. This top-fermented beer presents a rich aroma of dried fruit, chocolate and molasses. The palate is intense and sweet, with clear notes of caramel and dark fruit that linger on the finish.

The brewery, housed beneath a historic windmill, was founded in 1985 by musician Kasper Peterson and stands among the pioneers of Dutch craft brewing. Struis is a characterful choice for those seeking a complex, full-bodied beer with depth and warmth.
