This full-bodied ale features a deep copper/amber appearance below a modest light tan head. Expect caramel, and toast aromas with fruit esters on the nose. A rich mouthfeel delivers a medley of caramel and light sweetness on the palate before a drying finish.
About this Style
Belgian Strong is more of a catchall category rather than a specific style of beer with a detailed history. Although many strong, darker beers have been documented, there is no clear lineage from these older brews to today’s Belgian Strong. Most versions are unique in character reflecting characteristics of individual breweries, produced in limited quantities, and often highly sought-after.
