John Martin Bourgogne des Flandres
Why I'm Hooked on Belgian Beers - My Favorite Burgundy from Flanders
summarizeEditor's Summary
I'm not a fan of dark beer, but somehow, I just couldn't resist trying John Martin (Br. Timmermans) Bourgogne des Flandres while I was in Belgium. My husband ended up getting hooked on it after that, and now he's always buying it. It's sold in a 0.75L bottle, like champagne, but it's also available in the standard Belgian size - 0.33L. We just call it 'Burgundy' at home. I've been drinking it for a while now, and I have to say, it's a really great beer. The unique flavor profile is a blend of old and young beer, which gives it a pretty complex taste. The 5% ABV is perfect for a beer that's not too strong but still packs a punch. I love the fact that it's easy to find in Russia, which is a big plus for me. Overall, I think it's a great value for money, and I'd definitely recommend it to anyone who's looking for a new beer to try.
