Brouwerij De Halve Maan - Straffe Hendrik Xmas Blend (2026)

Pre-Order: Shipping Mid-November
 
An exceptional festive release from Bruges' historic Brouwerij De Halve Maan, Straffe Hendrik Xmas Blend 2026 is a magnificent Belgian Quadrupel that brings together the richness of barrel-aged beer with the vibrant character of a younger brew. Carefully blended by the brewery's master brewers, this luxurious 11% winter warmer combines mature, oak-aged Quadrupel with fresh Quadrupel to create a wonderfully complex and indulgent Christmas treat.
 
Pouring an intense, deep mahogany brown, it offers a captivating combination of dark fruit, rich caramel, toasted malt and warming vanilla, complemented by subtle oak tannins and delicate hints of spice. The barrel ageing contributes additional layers of complexity, with notes reminiscent of dried figs, raisins, dark chocolate and warming spirits, while the younger Quadrupel brings balance and freshness to the beautifully rounded finish.
