About

Kracht in de Nacht from Grutte Pier Brouwerij is a Russian Imperial Stout at 10% ABV, brewed in Leeuwarden as a tribute to the legendary Frisian folk hero Grutte Pier. The name draws inspiration from the nocturnal struggle of this historic figure. Unfiltered and top-fermented, this beer commands attention from the moment it's opened. The nose reveals layers of bay leaf, coffee and dark fruit complexity. On the palate, roasted malt, liquorice, figs and raisins emerge alongside distinctive herbal spice notes. The beer maintains remarkable balance despite its strength, with a warming, full body that honours the intensity of the Imperial Stout tradition. Grutte Pier Brouwerij has become Friesland's largest craft beer producer, recognised for bold and challenging brews.
