Strong Ale 8.3 º 82 IBU

Edge Brewing

This American Strong Ale delivers a powerful sensory impact, blending deep malt complexity with assertive bitterness. The experience begins with a rich aromatic profile of dark toffee, molasses, and roasted stone fruits, accented by hints of warming spice and pithy orange. On the palate, a bold foundation of caramel and lightly roasted malts provides a sturdy backdrop for punchy hop bitterness. The 8.3% ABV introduces a smooth, integrated warmth that complements the beer’s medium-full body. It concludes with a bittersweet harmony, leaving lingering notes of dark fruit and resinous hops against a backdrop of deep mahogany and ruby highlights.

Appearance. Deep brown to dark mahogany with subtle ruby highlights (SRM 16–18). Topped by a moderate-sized, creamy, light tan head with fair retention. Generally clear, though the depth of color makes it appear nearly opaque.

Aroma. High intensity. Dominant malt notes of toffee, dark caramel, and molasses, with a subtle hint of roasted grain. Hop character is moderate, featuring pithy orange and a touch of peppery spice. Esters suggest roasted stone fruits like plum or cherry. Low alcohol warmth is clean and supportive.

Taste. Initial impression is rich and malty, showcasing deep caramel, toffee, and molasses flavors. Mid-palate introduces a sharp, punchy hop bitterness that balances the initial sweetness. Hop flavors follow the aroma with pithy citrus and earthy spice. Fermentation character includes light esters of dried fruit. The finish is bittersweet and lingering, with a balanced interplay between malt richness and hop resin.

Mouthfeel. Medium-full body with a smooth, velvety texture. Carbonation is moderate. A noticeable but well-integrated alcohol warmth provides a pleasant glow without being solventy. Very low hop astringency in the finish.
