Belgian Strong Ale 10 º 34 IBU

Brouwerij Dilewyns - Vicaris

Vicaris Winter is a sophisticated Winter Seasonal Beer that pours a deep reddish-brown with a persistent, tan-colored head. Brewed with three distinct malt varieties and a specific yeast strain, it offers a rich aromatic profile of dark fruit and toasted caramel. The addition of star anise and licorice provides a complex, spicy character that defines the sensory experience. On the palate, full-bodied malt sweetness balances the herbal spice, while the 10% alcohol provides a significant, well-integrated warmth. This complex ale evolves with age, offering a lingering, satisfying finish perfect for savoring on cold winter nights.

Aroma. High intensity; rich malt profile featuring caramel, molasses, and dark toast; prominent star anise and licorice spiciness; moderate dark fruit esters like plum and raisin; very low hop character; smooth, supportive alcohol presence.

Taste.
