Bush Caractère
This Belgian Golden Strong Ale presents a deep amber hue, diverging from the style’s typical paleness due to the heavy use of caramel malts. At a potent 12% ABV, it delivers a complex sensory experience defined by the brewery’s 80-year-old house yeast, which produces intense pome fruit esters like pear alongside a peppery, warming alcohol presence. The aroma balances herbal hops with rich, toasted malt notes. On the palate, a pronounced bittersweet interplay unfolds, where caramelized sugar meets a firm bitterness, finishing with a lingering, sophisticated warmth characteristic of this iconic, high-density ale.
Appearance. Deep amber to fiery copper (approximately 12-15 SRM) with brilliant clarity. Pours with a dense, long-lasting, off-white rocky head that leaves thick lacing on the glass.
Aroma. High intensity bouquet featuring prominent pear and dried fruit esters. Robust caramel and toasted malt sweetness are balanced by herbal, spicy hop notes. A noticeable but smooth peppery alcohol presence emerges as the beer warms.
Taste. Initial impression is a bold surge of caramel malt sweetness quickly countered by a firm, pronounced hop bitterness. Flavors of ripe pear and peppery phenols from the house yeast dominate the mid-palate. The finish is surprisingly dry despite the high gravity, leaving a complex, bittersweet aftertaste and a lingering glow of alcohol.
Mouthfeel. Medium-full to full body with a luxurious, velvety texture. High carbonation provides an effervescent lift that prevents the high alcohol and malt density from feeling cloying. Significant, well-integrated alcohol warmth is present.
