It had to become a typical Ostend beer and therefore, Redgy Van Troost, a famous Ostend artist, was contacted for the label design. He created an atmospheric image of Ostend showing the casino building and the statue "The see" of sculptor Graer.
And so, the beer name was discovered: "Dikke Mathile" is the popular name of this statue.

Amber coloured through the use of Munich malt and amber malt. Hopped till 32 EBU with 50% hop of Poperinge and 50% German Hallertau flavour hop. The main fermentation at 22 C is finished after circa five days. Storage in bright beer tanks at -2 Celsius during 6 weeks.
