Belgian Dark Strong Ale 12 º 18 IBU

Brouwerij Betsy

This Belgian Dark Strong Ale, branded as Betsy Quadrupel 12, presents a masterfully soft yet potent profile at 12% ABV. The sensory journey begins with an evocative blend of deep, bready-toasty malts and rich caramel, intertwined with an abundance of dark fruit esters—specifically raisins, dried cherries, and figs. The generous use of Belgian hops imparts a subtle herbal and spicy nuance that balances the decadent malt core. While remarkably smooth, a refined alcohol warmth permeates the experience, leading to a finish that maintains a sophisticated balance between residual sweetness and a clean, dry complexity.

Appearance. Deep coppery-brown with excellent clarity. It supports a massive, dense, and persistent light tan head with fine-textured lacing.

Aroma. High intensity. Complex layers of bready malt, dark caramel, and rich molasses. Prominent esters of plum, date, and prune are accented by spicy black pepper phenols and a soft, perfumy alcohol presence. Low herbal hop notes.

Taste. Rich, multi-dimensional maltiness featuring toasted bread and dark sugars. Flavors of dried dark fruits dominate the mid-palate. Bitterness is medium-low, providing just enough structure against the high ABV. Finishes moderately dry with lingering notes of vanilla and spicy yeast character.

Mouthfeel. Medium-full body with a lush, creamy texture. High carbonation provides a lively lift, while a significant but smooth alcohol warmth glows on the swallow without being solventy.
