The dramatic image of the Four Horsemen as delivered to us in “The Apocalypse of John” offers itself as the illustration of NISSOS Red, Double Ale, Abbey-style beer. A contemporary interpretation of one of Europe’s most historic beer styles, developped in the early 19th century.

Sweet wort from selected barley and rye malts is fermented with Belgian yeast. A second fermentation reveals a typical estery aroma with banana, raisin and clove notes and a sweet, spicy flavour of candy and fruits.

Sweet dusty dried red fruity Aroma where it seems yeast and malts both have a role. Almost like a mild quad. Quite sweet, too close to industrials like grimbergen ambree , however, this one has a bit more of the funkiness I associate with good Belgians. Flavor is sweet malty with a fruity touch, think leffe brown, bit better than that. Clearly drinkable, better than many non belgian attempts.
