Moersleutel EUREKA: Crystal Malt Wine

100% Crystal Malt. Zero Restraint. Pure Innovation.

What happens when you strip brewing back to one bold idea and push it to the extreme?
You get Moersleutel EUREKA: Crystal Malt Wine — a beer brewed with 100% crystal malt. Yes, really.

No pale malt.
No base malt safety net.
Just crystal malt, ale yeast, and a willingness to see how far malt complexity can go.

The result is a thick, syrupy, intensely rich malt wine bursting with caramel, fudge, dried fruits, and burnt sugar, balanced by subtle pine-like aromatics from Crystal hops.

This is not a beer for the faint-hearted — it’s an exploration of malt taken to its absolute limit.


The Craft Behind Crystal Malt Wine

One Malt. Infinite Depth.

Crystal malt is usually used as a supporting actor. Here, it takes center stage — and refuses to leave.

100% Crystal Malt Grist

By brewing entirely with crystal malt, we unlocked:

  • Deep caramel sweetness

  • Burnt sugar and toffee richness

  • Raisin, fig, and dried fruit character

  • A naturally thick, syrupy body

Without base malt enzymes to lean on, this beer challenges conventional brewing logic — exactly what EUREKA is about.

Rye: Subtle Structure & Edge

A touch of rye adds:

  • Gentle spice

  • Structure

  • Just enough edge to keep the sweetness in check

Crystal Hops: Piney Balance

To balance the intense malt sweetness, we used Crystal hops, contributing:

  • Soft pine-like aromas

  • Mild herbal freshness

  • A balancing bitterness that never overpowers the malt


Tasting Experience

Aroma: Caramelized & Resin-Kissed

The aroma opens with:

  • Burnt sugar

  • Toffee and fudge

  • Dried fruit

  • Subtle pine and resin

Warm, dense, and deeply inviting.

Flavor Profile: Rich, Sweet & Malt-Driven

Each sip delivers:

  • Intense caramel and toffee

  • Fudge-like sweetness

  • Raisins, dates, and dried fruit

  • Burnt sugar depth

  • A light piney bitterness on the finish

The balance is deliberate — sweet, but never careless.

Mouthfeel & Finish: Thick & Syrupy

  • Extremely full-bodied

  • Viscous, almost liqueur-like texture

  • Long, lingering finish

  • Warming and contemplative

This is a slow-sipping beer, built for focus.

Bold, strange, technically challenging, and incredibly rewarding.

This beer pairs best with patience.


Serving Tips
