Beer Profile

Grand Cru

This Belgian-style Dark Ale, brewed to the original 1999 recipe, offers a complex and warming profile at 10% ABV. The deep mahogany liquid presents rich aromas of dark fruit and caramelized sugar. On the palate, prominent notes of raisins, dates, and candied fruits meld with undertones of roasted nuts and dark chocolate. This ale is full-bodied, providing a smooth, decadent texture that finishes with a pleasant, lingering sweetness characteristic of traditional Belgian strong dark ales.
