Belgian Strong Dark Ale

This beer is inspired by the Belgian Christmas Beers, known for their thick warming body, light spices and balanced hop profile. It’s a dark brown, sweet and potent Belgian strong ale. The aroma gives away notes of spices, caramel, roasted malt and nuts. The flavor has some hints of dark dried fruit, brown sugar, and liquorice. It’s sweet with notes of caramel, orange peel and spices and the finish is lightly dry due to the balanced hop profile.

Dejlig mørk øl, en let røget og lidt spicy note.

Hold da lige fast. Her er smæk for skillingen. Den er stærk, tyk og dejlig i sin sødmefulde smag.

Snadder! Mye belgisk gjær og brød, litt lakris og en del krydder. Nydelig balansert.

Obviously off season already, but this is still a massive taste bomb of dried dark fruits, think figs, prunes and raisins, caramel, booze, rich malts, licorice and everything Christmas is made out of.

Malt Does More

Pours fantastic, with a creamy head. Nose is mild spicing, roasty malts. Palate is boozy first, and then a lovely malty Belgian strong dark after, with hints of fig, white raisin, and yes booze, and licorice in the linger. A bit hot but really tasty.

Bottle @ home. Deep dark brown colour, beige foam. Nose of dried fruit, caramel, some spices, a bit roasty. Taste is sweet, malty, some hoppiness and notes of spices. Well balanced.
