Beer Facts

Like all Belgian beers, a great deal of the character of this beer comes from the yeast and the fermentation temperature. Belgian Dark Strong Ales have a similar flavor profile to Belgian Quads with the yeast and malt being the drivers for its flavors and aromas; unlike a quad though, this beer is significantly higher in alcohol content.
