This Belgian-influenced interpretation of a British Brown Ale displays a deep mahogany character with a sophisticated sensory profile. The aroma is defined by a unique combination of sweet burning wood and toasted banana bread, complemented by fruity esters of plums and sweet peaches. The malt bill provides a robust foundation of caramel and chocolate, while the specific use of Poperinge hops introduces a structured yet light bitterness that balances the malt sweetness. Bottle conditioning contributes a lively yeasty zip and a subtle citrus edge. The result is a complex, evolving abbey-style ale where smoky dark malt notes meet a refined, lingering stone-fruit finish.
Appearance.Deep mahogany to dark reddish-brown (18–22 SRM). Hazy and nearly opaque due to bottle conditioning, topped with a small, creamy, off-white to light tan head with moderate lacing.
Aroma.Moderate to high intensity. Rich malt aromas of toffee, chocolate, and a distinctive smoky, burnt wood character. Prominent fruity esters featuring ripe peaches, plums, and banana bread. A light earthy and citrus hop note from Poperinge hops is present alongside a subtle yeasty zip.
Taste.Initial impression of gentle malt sweetness with layers of caramel and milk chocolate. The mid-palate features a singular smoky dark malt presence and sweet peach flavors. Hop bitterness is medium-low, derived from Poperinge hops, maintaining a malt-focused balance. The finish is medium-dry with lingering notes of toasted wood and dried fruit.
Mouthfeel.Medium body with a slight creaminess and no astringency. Carbonation is medium-high, providing a lively mouthfeel. Alcohol warmth is light, pleasant, and well-integrated.
