Belgian Dark Strong Ale 8 º 27 IBU

Brew & Roll

This Belgian Dark Strong Ale offers a decadent sensory profile, masterfully enhanced by the addition of fig puree. It greets the senses with a rich tapestry of toasted bread and dark caramel, woven together with the distinctively honeyed and jammy aroma of figs. The ester profile is deep and complex, showcasing plums and raisins alongside the specialized fruit addition. On the palate, the medium-full body delivers a velvety texture where sweet maltiness meets subtle peppery phenols. The finish is harmonious and smooth, balancing the natural fruit sugars with a gentle alcohol warmth that lingers pleasantly without any harshness.

Appearance. Deep coppery-brown with high clarity. It supports a massive, dense, moussy head of light tan foam that exhibits exceptional persistence and lacing.

Aroma. High intensity featuring a complex mix of bready-toasty malt and dark caramel. Esters are prominent, highlighted by the specific sweetness of dried figs, raisins, and plums. Low spicy phenols suggestive of black pepper and a soft, perfumy alcohol character round out the bouquet.

Taste. Rich and malty initial impression with deep caramel and toasted malt flavors. The fig puree provides a unique, jammy sweetness that complements traditional notes of prune and dried cherry. Bitterness is medium-low, providing a soft balance. The finish is moderately sweet and smooth, with a lingering fruit complexity and a hint of spicy yeast character.

Mouthfeel. Medium-full body with a creamy, luxurious texture. High carbonation provides a lively sparkle that cuts through the malt richness. A noticeable, well-integrated alcohol warmth is present but remains smooth.
