Dark Night Rises is an evocative Belgian Dubbel tailored for winter, showcasing a complex blend of Belgian malts that provide a rich backbone of caramelized sugar and toast. It pours a deep reddish-copper with a dense, creamy head. The sensory experience is defined by an intense fruitiness—evoking raisins and plums—harmonized with the distinctive addition of allspice. This spice, combined with a blend of yeast strains, yields a bold, peppery, and piquant aromatic profile. The palate is malty-rich yet finishes surprisingly dry, with the allspice lingering alongside soft alcohol warmth and high carbonation, creating a festive, full-bodied monastic ale.
Appearance.Deep reddish-copper (15 SRM) with excellent clarity. Crowned by a large, dense, and long-lasting creamy off-white head with significant lacing.
Aroma.Moderately strong aroma of toasted Belgian malts, caramel, and a hint of chocolate. High fruity esters reminiscent of raisins, plums, and dried figs. Pronounced spicy phenols from the yeast blend are complemented by a distinct, warm allspice character. Hop aroma is nearly absent.
Taste.Rich malt flavors of caramel and toasted crusts dominate initially. Medium-low bitterness (approx. 20 IBU) provides just enough balance. Intensely fruity with dark cherry and plum notes, while the allspice adds a unique, lingering spicy complexity. Finishes moderately dry with a long, malty, and festive spiced aftertaste.
Mouthfeel.Medium-full body with a smooth, velvety texture. High carbonation provides a lively mouthfeel. A pleasant, soft alcohol warmth is present but well-integrated, with no astringency.
