Belgian Strong Ale 8 º 25 IBU

Brasserie des Légendes - Brasserie des Géants

This Belgian Dark Strong Ale presents a striking sensory journey, defined by its deep, near-opaque complexion and a decadent, fleeting beige foam. The profile is anchored by an intense malt architecture, weaving together luxurious layers of dark chocolate, old-world coffee, and rich butterscotch. This sweetness is masterfully balanced by a sophisticated bouquet of dark fruits, specifically ripe plum, blackberry, and concentrated dried red fruits. Despite its 8% ABV, the beer remains exceptionally approachable, offering a velvety, creamy texture and a gentle warmth that highlights the expressive character of the specialty malts over hop bitterness for an elegant, rich finish.

Appearance. Deep black and near opaque (SRM 35+); features a fleeting, creamy, light-beige head with moderate retention.

Aroma. High intensity; rich, bready malt base layered with distinct notes of dark chocolate and roasted coffee. Significant dark fruit esters reminiscent of plums and blackberries, with a subtle hint of caramel and a soft, spicy alcohol presence.

Taste. Initial impression is sweet and malty-rich. Flavors of milk chocolate and butterscotch evolve into deeper notes of roasted coffee. Fruit character is prominent, featuring plums and dried red fruits. Bitterness is low, allowing the malt complexity to dominate through a smooth, lingering, and sweet finish.

Mouthfeel. Medium-full body with a creamy, velvety texture. Moderate carbonation provides a gentle lift. Noticeable but well-integrated alcohol warmth provides a comforting sensation without being hot or solventy.
