Hordago Tarasca
Belgian Dubbel 6.8 º
Hordago Tarasca is a robust Belgian Dubbel that highlights an elevated grain bill featuring three distinct malts, resulting in a rich, deeply copper-colored ale with a characteristic reddish depth. The sensory experience is defined by a decadent malt backbone of caramelized sugar and toasted bread, layered with expressive yeast esters of raisins and plums. A deliberate addition of clove introduces a specific spicy phenol that sharpens the aroma and lingers through the finish. Despite the enhanced body provided by the extra malt, the beer remains balanced with a moderately dry finish and a soft, integrated alcohol warmth.
Appearance. Dark copper to deep reddish-brown with excellent clarity. It is crowned by a large, dense, and long-lasting creamy off-white head that leaves consistent lacing.
Aroma. Moderate to high intensity. Features a complex rich malty aroma of toasted bread and caramelized sugar. Prominent dark fruit esters, specifically raisin and plum, are complemented by a distinct spicy clove phenol and a light peppery note.
Taste. Initial malt-rich flavors of caramel and toast lead the palate. Medium-low bitterness allows the malt and yeast character to shine, showcasing dark dried fruits and a specific spicy clove flavor. It finishes moderately dry with a malty aftertaste accented by peppery phenols.
Mouthfeel. Medium-full body with a smooth, slightly creamy texture. High carbonation provides a lively mouthfeel that keeps the malt intensity from becoming heavy. Light, soft alcohol warmth is present but well-integrated.
