About

Code Oranje from d'Ooijevaer is an ambitious strong ale matured in Ben Nevis whisky casks from 1972. This Dutch beer exemplifies the intensity and character that define the brewery's approach. At 10% ABV, it delivers a full, round mouthfeel where roasted malt dominates the flavour profile. Sweet caramel and coffee notes mingle with dark fruit character—plum and raisin—while the whisky cask aging adds depth without overwhelming the beer's foundation. The finish is dry and lingering, with warming alcohol that befits its strength.
