Belgian Dark Strong w/ Raisin, Cherry & Orange Peel
A Belgian Dark Strong brewed with candy sugar, raisin, cherry, and orange peel. This beer has a smooth, rich caramel and roasty malt backbone, combining with the classic Belgian yeast and fruit to create a warming treat, with a fruity winter spice.

473 ml can. Pours a deep reddish brown/mahogany with moderate head. Aromas of candi sugar, fruity belgian yeast, cherrywood, and dry toasted malts. Flavors follow same with additional raisins, esters and minerals. Pretty much on target though not too complex and lacking some body. Quite nice for a BC Belgian.

Slight haze, thin head. Fruity, balanced. A bit of alcohol, estery depth. I’d say it’s a decent dubbel, some orangey notes.

Poured from 473mL can (pkg 2025/12/05). Medium dark copper brown with small beige head. Belgian yeast, some dark fruits and esters, feint earthy toffee and caramel, light dry booze on the finish. For a straight up North American quad, not bad.

On tap at Threefold, pours a deep dark reddish brown with a small beige head. Aroma has some tart red fruits, some Belgian yeast, and a touch of toffee. Flavour is gently estery and yet not too sweet, with dried fruit, some toffee, bready malt, and lightly spicy Belgian yeast. Carbonation isn’t high enough—typical of North American Belgian beers. Pleasant enough but not hitting the right notes.

On tap at Threefold. Pours a murky ruddy brown with a small beige head. Raisins, dried cherries, dry caramel, and Belgian yeast on the nose. Flavour has loads of raisins, dried fruits, cherry pits, a bit leathery, dry caramel, and estery Belgian yeast. The yeast coming through maybe a touch too estery for me, but not bad. Nice, the fruit adjuncts work well with the base.
