Arrayán De Fuego
Strong Ale 7 º
Arrayán De Fuego presents a striking mahogany-red hue inspired by the Valdivian forest. This British Strong Ale offers a rich sensory journey led by deep specialty malts that suggest toffee and toasted nuts. At 7% ABV, the alcohol is smoothly integrated, providing a gentle warmth that complements its creamy, full-bodied mouthfeel. Notable fruity esters, reminiscent of dried plums and raisins, dance alongside a distinct hop presence, balancing the initial malty sweetness with a firm, refined bitterness. The result is a complex dark ale that bridges the gap between everyday bitters and robust barleywines, delivering a harmonious, lingering finish of caramel and earthy hops.
Appearance. Intense mahogany to dark reddish-brown (SRM 18-22); light tan head with a creamy texture and moderate retention; generally clear with deep ruby highlights.
Aroma. Moderate-high intensity featuring a complex blend of caramel, toffee, and nutty specialty malts. Pronounced fruity esters of dried dark fruits are complemented by earthy and floral hop notes. Clean fermentation profile with a well-integrated, subtle alcohol presence.
Taste. Rich initial impression of malty sweetness with flavors of toffee and light nuttiness. Notable hop flavor provides an earthy counterbalance to the malt. Moderate bitterness (approx. 40 IBU) ensures a balanced profile, preventing cloying sweetness. Esters of plum and raisin add complexity. The finish is medium-dry with lingering notes of toasted grain and hops.
Mouthfeel. Medium-full to full body with a chewy, substantial texture. Moderate carbonation supports a creamy mouthfeel. Noticeable but smooth alcohol warmth is present without being hot or solventy.
