About

Don Aart is the strong, characterful face of Stadsbrouwerij Vos from Elburg. This 9.5% barleywine is an all-malt beer without additives, brewed by a family business that has been brewing independently in the city since 2023. In the glass, Don Aart reveals itself as rich and layered. Deep roasted malt and warm caramel form the solid foundation, complemented by notes of red fruit and blueberries. The beer is full-bodied with pleasant bitterness and a dry finish. The name references a character who is quiet in nature but sharp of mind—fitting for a beer that approaches gently but has much to say.
