Dark Ale 7 º 34 IBU

Bierbrouwerij De Eem

Stadig presents a robust interpretation of the British Brown Ale, leaning into the historic "Double" strength with its 7% ABV. The pour reveals a deep mahogany hue topped with a dense, light-tan foam. The nose is greeted by a rich tapestry of toffee and toasted nuts, supported by faint threads of milk chocolate and earthy hop notes. On the palate, the malt-forward profile delivers layers of caramel and biscuit, evolving into a clean, nutty finish. While the "Klassieke dubbel" influence suggests a fuller presence, the beer maintains the classic British balance, offering a sophisticated interplay of sweetness and a gentle, warming alcohol character.

Appearance. Dark reddish-brown (approx. 20 SRM) with brilliant clarity. Features a moderate-sized, persistent off-white to light tan head with fine lacing.

Aroma. Moderate intensity featuring a sweet malt core of toffee, toasted hazelnut, and light chocolate. Low earthy and floral hop character provides a delicate counterpoint. Subtle fruity esters of dried plum are evident but do not dominate the malt-centric profile.

Taste. Initial malt sweetness leads with flavors of caramel, toffee, and biscuity toasted bread. A light chocolate character emerges mid-palate. Low earthy hop flavor provides balance against a medium-low bitterness. The balance is firmly malt-focused, finishing medium-dry with a lingering nutty aftertaste.

Mouthfeel. Medium-full body with a smooth, slightly creamy texture. Carbonation is moderate to medium-high. A gentle, well-integrated alcohol warmth is present, consistent with its higher strength, without being harsh or astringent.
