Dark Ale 7.2 º 52 IBU

Brouwerij De Krak

Double Trouble is a robust, elevated interpretation of the British Brown Ale, delivering a potent 7.2% ABV profile. The sensory experience is defined by deep roasted notes of coffee and dark chocolate, diverging from the style's lighter norms to offer increased intensity. Brewed with 100% Belgian hops, it provides a delicate earthy and floral backdrop that complements the rich caramel and nutty malt base. Despite its strength and dark character, the beer maintains a remarkably dry finish, ensuring the complex toasted flavors remain crisp rather than cloying on the palate. It is a flavorful, balanced ale with significant character.

Appearance. Dark reddish-brown to mahogany (approx. 22 SRM); brilliant clarity with a moderate light-tan head that displays good retention.

Aroma. Moderate-high intensity featuring sweet malt, caramel, and toffee; notable roasted accents of coffee and dark chocolate are present. Low earthy and floral hop character from the Belgian hops, accompanied by faint fruity esters.

Taste. Initial impression of caramel and nutty sweetness quickly transitions into roasted flavors of dark chocolate and coffee. Medium-low bitterness provides balance without being harsh. The finish is remarkably dry and clean, with a lingering toasty aftertaste and low floral hop flavor.

Mouthfeel. Medium body with a slight creaminess; moderate-high carbonation provides a lively texture. A gentle, well-integrated alcohol warmth is present, commensurate with its 7.2% strength.
