Belgian Strong Ale 8 º

Browerij De Block

This Belgian Dark Strong Ale presents a mahogany hue topped by a creamy, persistent beige head. The aroma is a sophisticated tapestry of sweet malt, subtle spicy phenols, and a surprising hint of smoky roasted coffee. On the palate, a balanced sweetness leads, revealing layers of dark chocolate and caramel that mask its 8% ABV with remarkable finesse. The finish evolves from a bready-toasty richness into a moderate, clean bitterness. True to its monastic roots, it offers a harmonious blend of dark fruit esters and warm spice, providing a complex yet approachable sensory experience.

Appearance. Deep mahogany (18-22 SRM) with a creamy, light tan-to-beige head showing medium-high persistence and good lacing; the beer is generally clear with a coppery-brown translucence.

Aroma. Moderate to high intensity featuring rich, bready-toasty malt and sweet caramel; unique secondary notes of smoky roasted coffee and dark chocolate; spicy yeast-derived phenols like black pepper are present, alongside subtle dark fruit esters and a well-integrated, soft alcohol presence.

Taste. Initial impression is malty-rich with a sweet dominance of caramel and light chocolate; hop bitterness is medium-low but provides enough balance to prevent cloying; fermentation character includes subtle spicy phenols and dark fruit; the finish is moderate and evolves from sweet malt into a balanced, lingering bitterness.

Mouthfeel. Medium-full body with a creamy, smooth texture; high carbonation that remains soft on the palate; well-hidden alcohol warmth provides a subtle, integrated glow without being hot or solventy.
