San Amaro Dark Ale
Belgian Dark Strong Ale 8.5 º
San Amaro Dark Ale is a robust, Belgian-inspired interpretation of a British Brown Ale, presenting a deep reddish-brown hue. The sensory experience is dominated by an intense malt profile, weaving together rich notes of toffee, caramel, and toasted nuts with a distinctive layer of dark fruit like raisins and plums. At 8.5% ABV, a refined alcohol warmth complements the medium-full body, while the triple fermentation in the bottle provides a lively carbonation. This complex ale balances a gentle sweetness with a dry finish, offering a sophisticated harmony of traditional malt character and Belgian fermentation depth.
Appearance. Dark reddish-brown color (22 SRM). Slightly hazy due to yeast sediment from bottle conditioning, with a moderate, light tan head that shows good retention.
Aroma. High intensity malt aroma characterized by rich toffee, caramel, and nutty notes. Pronounced fruity esters of plum and raisin are present, reflecting its Belgian influence, alongside a very low earthy hop character.
Taste. Initial impression is of deep malt sweetness with flavors of caramel, toffee, and toasted nuts. A strong dark fruit character reminiscent of raisins and plums dominates the mid-palate. Bitterness is medium-low, providing just enough balance against the malt-forward profile. The finish is medium-dry with a lingering note of dark malt and subtle warmth.
Mouthfeel. Medium-full body with high carbonation levels from the third fermentation in the bottle. Smooth and creamy texture with a noticeable but well-integrated alcohol warmth; no harshness or astringency.
