De Halve Maan Straffe Hendrik
What the brewers say
“Delicate dryness with hints of coriander, dark fruits, anise, and roasted chestnuts.”
What our panel thought
“Coconut-heavy nose with notes of dried apricot, cherry, clove, and pipe tobacco. Toasted coconut in the flavor with burnt-sugar malt sweetness, honey notes, and some raisin.”
What our editors thought
“Familiar caramel and toffee notes play off subtle Belgian esters, with a faint hint of PNW musty citrus and forest hops. The sip leans to the sweeter side—a proper indulgence. Esters fade into orange blossom and chocolate croissant before making a quick exit.”
