A reddish-brown caramel colour with a thick buttery head.
The aroma is dominated by sweet roasted malts, raisins and almond nuts. The sweet molasses and toffee flavour upfront make room for light hop-bitterness and alcohol. The mouthfeel is full and sticky, which is normal for this kind of beer. Mid range of carbonation when served chilled. A nice complexity of fruitiness and hop-bitterness comprises the aftertaste. Nice flavourful winter warmer with an impressive aromatic palet.
Topfermented and re-fermentation in the bottle. In Flemish, Het Kapittel stands for the hierarchy of fathers and priests within a monastery.
At Van Eecke, the Kapittel-range of abbey beers started in 1946 and is one of the best quality beers we have in Belgium.
