Kasteelbier Donker

Brewed by Brouwerij Van Honsebrouck
Style: Belgian Strong Ale
Ingelmunster, Belgium

maybe i got a shitty bottle, but this just seems over sweetened to hide the alcohol and theres really not much else about this brew

Dark ruby-red beer with a small disappearing beige head. Aroma is of alcohol, toffee and sweet dried fruits. Taste is very sweet, fruity. Lacks bitterness, alcohol is too present and way too sweet. Not my favourite.

Bottle. Cola, alcoholic, malt, liquor, a little bit of caramel. Small off-white fizzy head, fully dimishing. Dark brown clear body. Sweet, a hint of bitterness. Medium body, oily texture, lively / fizzy carbonation. To alcoholic, to much carbonation - there are better ones.

Ruddy brown, with a small white head. Fairly powerful nose hints of Brown sugar, plums, dates, red apple, golden apple, caramel, toffee and a bit of barnyard. Flavor is extremely sweet and very fruity. Honestly, I think it’s a pretty tasty beer. Well hidden alcohol, with a balanced flavor. This is a fairly tasty, enjoyable Belgian.

A full-bodied velvety bier with a high alcohol percentage. The Syrah of beers. This is a heavy beer, but if drunk properly the alcohol is not overwhelming, it does not dominate the taste.

This comes in at a honking 11% but manages the alcohol well with an overt malt sweetness and creamy body. Cookie and raisin, big, best by itself anytime, or paired with dessert.

Garrafa. Cerveja encorpada, complexa e bem harmonizada mesmo com seus respeitáveis 11%.

Bottle. Medium high creamy and lasting light brown head. Sweet roasted barley malt aroma with spicy notes. Flavor also pretty sweet, plums choccolate and caramel. Alcohol too dominant though. Low carbonation. Long aftertaste.
