Belgian Dark Strong Ale 11.3 º 25 IBU

Nix

Nix Hallerbos is a decadent and sophisticated Belgian Dark Strong Ale that presents a deep chestnut hue with elegant ruby highlights. At a potent 11.3% ABV, it offers an exceptionally complex sensory profile, led by intense aromas of blueberries, ripe figs, and dark plums. These rich esters are seamlessly layered over a luxurious malt foundation of toffee and cocoa, with a subtle whisper of roasted coffee. The palate mirrors this aromatic depth, delivering a harmonious blend of dark fruit sweetness and bready-toasty richness. A slow, gentle alcohol warmth emerges in the finish, characterizing this Quadrupel as a smooth, dangerous, and deeply contemplative monastic-style ale.

Appearance. Deep chestnut to dark mahogany with subtle ruby reflections when held to light. Displays a persistent, dense, fine-bubbled brown head with excellent retention.

Aroma. High intensity and layered; rich malt notes of toffee and cocoa are accented by a faint hint of roasted coffee. Strong esters of blueberries, ripe figs, and plums are prominent, supported by a soft, perfumy alcohol presence and light spicy phenols.

Taste. Initial impression is malty-rich and sweet, featuring complex flavors of cocoa, toffee, and dried dark fruits like figs and plums. Bitterness is medium-low, balancing the residual sweetness without overtaking it. The finish is moderately sweet and lingering, showcasing harmonious fruit and malt character with a well-integrated alcohol presence.

Mouthfeel. Medium-full body with a creamy, velvety texture. High carbonation provides a gentle lift, while a smooth, noticeable alcohol warmth develops slowly on the swallow. No astringency.
