Dark Strong Ale. Bright red dark beer with a spicy aroma of cookies, gingerbread and caramel. Also fruity; ripe apples, red fruit, dried fruit, and a little acidity. High fermentation with secondary fermentation in the bottle, unfiltered, not pasteurized.

Flasche ("Vleteren Dark Old Strong Ale", 33 cl) vom Bierzwerg. - Rotbraun, trüb; fester Schaum. - Nase appetitlich süßsauer mit Karamel und milder Zitrone, abgerundet durch obergärige Hefe. - Antrunk warm dunkelmalzig mit einem milden Schuß fruchtiger Säure: Pflaume, herbe Zitronenschale, Bitterschokolade; eingebettet in runde Malzsüße. Mild rezent, für ein Starkbier fast leicht. Im weiteren Verlauf setzt holzige Herbe ein, die in einen fast schroffen Abgang mündet. Etwas penetrante muffig-harte Noten (oxidiert?) im Nachtrunk. - Schöne dunkle Malzigkeit, aufgelockert durch zart stechende Säure und abgerundet durch kräftige Herbe. Wäre ohne den muffigen Nachtrunk noch besser.

Taste is medium sweet brown sugar and caramel, apple, candy dark fruity, slightly roasted, some yeast. Medium bodied, soft carbonation, sticky. Nothing special really...

Slightly hazy dark amber brown colour, good frothy beige head, diminishes slowly, good lacing. Aroma dark malts, brown sugar, caramel, dark fruits (berries, plum), some apple syrup. Taste light heavy sweet and medium bitter, malty, caramel fruity notes. Medium to full body, oily to creamy texture, soft carbonation, mild bittersweet aftertaste, light spicy and alcoholic notes. Well-balanced and tasty beer, very nice.

Something of a classic, the only Belgian beer calling itself Alt to my knowing, but very Belgian and in that sense not really an Altbier. Pale beige, dense, moussy, sticky head with excellent retention, deep bronze colour with ruby hue, misty. Aroma was already oxidized, but this did not disturb the estery and malty odours, caramel, leather, raisins, hazelnuts, cooked rice, cloves, flowers, pear, liquorice. Deep malty taste, chocolatey, bready, sweetish but not sugary, dried fruits and nuts, dry hoppy finish with some warming alcohol. An underestimated brew with lots of personality.

330ml bottle from Vanuxeem. Labelled ’Dark Old Strong Ale’. Pours dark brown with good off-white head. Spicy aroma, taste filled with dark fruits, ginger cake, spice and a touch of candi sugar. Flavoursome & decent.
