Brown Ale 8 º 33 IBU

Alaryk

Alaryk Brune presents as a robust and elevated interpretation of a British Brown Ale, leaning into the historic Double Brown tradition with its significant 8% ABV. The pour reveals a deep, dark robe indicative of its roasted malt core. On the nose, intense aromas of toffee and light chocolate are accented by distinct notes of licorice and subtle dark fruit esters derived from high fermentation. The palate is a harmonious balance of power and bitterness, where toasted malt sweetness meets earthy complexity. Bottle refermentation ensures a lively carbonation that lifts the medium-full body, resulting in a sophisticated, warming finish.

Appearance. Deep reddish-brown to dark brown. Clear to slightly hazy due to bottle refermentation. Moderate light tan head with good retention and light lacing.

Aroma. Moderate to high intensity. Prominent sweet malt aromas of toffee, caramel, and light chocolate, integrated with roasted notes and a distinctive hint of licorice. Light fruity esters and a subtle earthy hop character are evident.

Taste. Initial impression is a balanced malt sweetness with flavors of toasted nuts, caramel, and dark chocolate. Mid-palate introduces a noticeable licorice quality. Bitterness is medium, providing a clean balance against the high alcohol strength. The finish is medium-dry with lingering roasted grain notes.

Mouthfeel. Medium-full body with a smooth, slightly creamy texture. Carbonation is medium-high, reflecting bottle conditioning. A noticeable but well-integrated alcohol warmth provides a pleasant glow.
