Fruit Beer 8.5 º 20 IBU

Brouwer Barry

Stoere Sjaak presents as a robust and deeply expressive Fruit Beer, dominated by a lush bouquet of forest fruits and ripe cherries. The sensory journey begins with an intense aromatic profile of macerated blackberries and tart cherries, supported by a sturdy, warming base that hints at its 8.5% strength. On the palate, the interplay of succulent berries provides a rich, jammy complexity, while the cherries add a bright, slightly acidic lift. Despite the fruit abundance, a clean malt backbone ensures the beer remains grounded, leading into a smooth, slightly tannic finish that echoes the essence of a dark berry harvest.

Appearance. Deep ruby to dark garnet with a slight purple hue; clear to slightly hazy. The dense, creamy head is off-white with a distinct pinkish tint and good persistence.

Aroma. High intensity aroma of fresh forest berries, specifically blackberry and raspberry, coupled with a sharp cherry note. Beneath the fruit lies a soft, bready malt sweetness and a hint of spicy alcohol.

Taste. Leading with a burst of mixed berry flavors and dark cherry tartness. The fruit character is natural and dominant but balanced by a medium-sweet malt foundation. Low hop bitterness allows the fruit’s acidity and subtle tannins to provide structure. The finish is long and fruity with a well-integrated alcoholic warmth.

Mouthfeel. Medium-full body with a smooth, slightly velvety texture. Moderate carbonation. A noticeable, pleasant alcohol warmth is present, complemented by a light fruit-derived astringency in the finish.
