Dark Ale 8.5 º

Brouwerij den Drul

Sgoer presents as a robust, malt-driven experience, elevating the traditional profile of a British Brown Ale into a more substantial, contemplative sipper. The pour reveals a deep reddish-brown hue with a persistent light tan head. On the nose, sweet aromas of toffee, toasted hazelnuts, and light milk chocolate predominate, complemented by a subtle earthy hop character. The palate is defined by gentle malt sweetness, showcasing layers of caramel, biscuit, and nutty flavors without the acridity of roasted malts. Given the 8.5% ABV, a notable but well-integrated alcohol warmth emerges, rounding out the medium-full body and leading to a clean, nutty, and medium-dry finish.

Appearance. Dark reddish-brown (approximately 20 SRM) with good clarity. Features a moderate-sized, light tan head with fair retention and slight lacing.

Aroma. Moderate to high intensity malt-forward aroma with prominent toffee, nutty, and toasted biscuit notes. Subtle hints of milk chocolate and low fruity esters are present, supported by a light, earthy hop character.

Taste. Moderate malt sweetness initially, followed by flavors of caramel, toasted nuts, and a touch of chocolate. Low floral and earthy hop flavor provides a gentle counterpoint. Bitterness is medium-low, keeping the balance malt-focused. The finish is medium-dry with a lingering toasted nut and caramel aftertaste.

Mouthfeel. Medium-full body with a smooth, slightly creamy texture. Carbonation is moderate. A noticeable, pleasant alcohol warmth is present, consistent with the higher strength, without being harsh or fusel.
