Extra-Strong Bitter 6 º 65 IBU

Brasserie Dunham

This monastic-inspired Belgian Dark Strong Ale presents a complex sensory journey, beginning with a deep mahogany hue and garnet reflections. The aroma is an intense blend of bready malt richness and spicy rye, layered with the deep fruitiness of Iranian figs and dried plums. Brief aging in Sangiovese barrels from Chianti imparts a distinctive vinous character and subtle oak tannins, which complement the fruity esters and black pepper phenols. On the palate, candied fruit sweetness meets a sophisticated spicy-bitter balance from American hops. The experience concludes with a silky, warming, and remarkably long finish that showcases its monastic inspiration.
