Style Information |
Belgian Strong Dark Ales range in color from amber to dark brown. The aroma has notes of dark candy sugar, mild dark fruits and roasted malts. Hop presence should be minimal. The taste also has a low hop presence, with roasted malts and dark fruits standing out. There may also be a mild hint of residual sugar sweetness, which can offset the usual alcohol notes. This style generally holds up well to secondary flavor additions, and some brewers will flavor the beer with spices, chocolate or other strong flavors. The feel is generally medium to full. ABV ranges from 7% to 11% or higher. IBUs are low to medium and range from 20 to 50. |
