Belgian Dark Strong Ale 11.5 º 27 IBU

Microbrouwerij Urthel

This Belgian Dark Strong Ale, rooted in the Flemish brewing tradition, delivers a masterclass in complexity. At 11.5% ABV, it opens with a dense aromatic profile of dried fruits—raisins, plums, and figs—layered over a deeply toasty malt base. The palate is luxurious and soft, featuring a balanced sweetness that transitions into notes of dark caramel and a refined, lingering hint of chocolate in the finish. Despite its strength, the alcohol provides a smooth, comforting warmth rather than heat. This Quadruple-style ale maintains a sophisticated structure, where a subtle bitterness and high carbonation ensure the rich, medium-full body remains elegant and drinkable through every sip.

Appearance. Deep coppery-brown to dark mahogany (SRM 18–22) with brilliant clarity; topped by a huge, dense, and persistent light tan-colored head with excellent moussy lacing.

Aroma. High intensity; dominant rich maltiness featuring bready-toasty notes and dark caramel; prominent yeast-derived esters of dried cherries, prunes, and dates; subtle spicy phenols of vanilla and soft black pepper; smooth, perfumy alcohol presence with no hop aroma.

Taste. Rich and complex malt-forward initial impression; flavors of caramelized sugar and dark fruit jam; refined hop bitterness is medium-low, balancing the high alcohol and malt sweetness; a subtle hint of chocolate appears in the aftertaste; finishes moderately dry and harmoniously smooth.

Mouthfeel. Medium-full body with a creamy, velvety texture; high carbonation that is lively but not sharp; significant, smooth alcohol warmth; very low astringency.
