Beer list:
From Braufactum:
Progusta 6.8% ABV: With Progusta, the types of hops used come to the fore, and harmonize perfectly with the bitter note.

The sweetness remaining after fermentation forms a nice interplay with the bitter note
From Hetanker:
Gouden Carolus Cuvée Van De Keizer 11% ABV: This exceptional ale ages well, developing a refined complexity and intense aromas. With powerful notes of roasted malts, caramel and plums, its surprisingly soft and fruity aroma combines a warm roundness with a refreshing taste. An imperial brew to cherish and enjoy in moderation.
