Christmas-Winter Specialty Spiced Beer 7.5 º

Amager Bryghus

This celebratory Belgian Dubbel showcases a rich tapestry of caramelized sugars and toasted malt, accented by the distinctive fruitiness of Trappist yeast. Eschewing traditional holiday spices, the profile relies on a nuanced fermentation character of raisins and plums, further elevated by the inclusion of Pacific Gem hops. These New Zealand hops contribute a unique, piquant hint of blackberry and a firm bitterness that structures the malty sweetness. The result is a complex, deep-copper ale with an elegant balance of dark fruit esters and spicy phenols, finishing moderately dry with a subtle, lingering warmth perfect for winter sipping.

Appearance. Dark copper to deep amber with attractive reddish highlights. Topped with a large, dense, and long-lasting creamy off-white head; generally clear.

Aroma. Moderately strong intensity featuring rich malty aromas of caramelized sugar and toast. Prominent dark fruit esters of raisin and plum are complemented by a piquant blackberry note. Low to moderate spicy, peppery phenols from the yeast; hop character is low and herbal with no roasted or burnt notes.

Taste. Initial impression is malty-rich with flavors of caramel and toasted bread. Complexity is driven by yeast-derived raisin and plum, alongside a distinctive blackberry hop flavor. Bitterness is medium, providing enough balance to prevent cloying. Finishes moderately dry with a lingering malty and fruity aftertaste accented by subtle spicy phenols.

Mouthfeel. Medium-full body with a smooth, slightly creamy texture. High carbonation provides an effervescent lift. Low, soft alcohol warmth is present but well-integrated, never solventy or harsh.
