Pepinum Hop Taurus
Strong Ale 10 º
This Belgian Dark Strong Ale presents a bold sensory experience centered on its potent 10% ABV and characteristic amber hue. The nose is greeted by an intense tapestry of rich, bready malt and dark caramel, woven with expressive Belgian yeast esters of dried figs and plums. Subtle spicy phenols, reminiscent of vanilla and black pepper, mingle with a soft, perfumy alcohol presence. On the palate, a sweet malt richness prevails, offering layers of dates and raisins before transitioning into a smooth, warming finish. Despite its strength, the high carbonation ensures a lively mouthfeel that elegantly balances the underlying sweetness.
Appearance. Deep amber to coppery-brown (12-22 SRM). Huge, dense, and persistent light tan head with excellent lacing. Generally clear.
Aroma. High intensity. Complex blend of bready, toasty malt and dark caramel. Strong esters of raisins, plums, and dried cherries. Subtle spicy phenols resembling black pepper and a soft, perfumy alcohol note. Hop aroma is absent.
Taste. Rich and complex maltiness with a sweet initial impression. Flavors of dark fruits like dates and prunes dominate the mid-palate, supported by a low spicy phenol character. Medium-low bitterness provides balance to the malt richness. The finish is moderately sweet and smooth, never syrupy or heavy.
Mouthfeel. Medium-full, creamy body. High carbonation that is lively but not sharp. Noticeable and smooth alcohol warmth without being solventy.
