There are many beers with different characters, whether due to their flavour, level of alcohol, region of production, colour, etc. One might think that the belong to no category. In reality, there are all placed in a category know as " Belgian Specials" , a bit of a catch-all, but distinguished by the fact that these beers are found only in Belgium.
"Combines the best of two worlds: the sweet aftertaste of a dark beer with the high hops and light finish of an IPA." This beer shares its high hopping and high alcohol DNA with its paler IPA sibling, but like a stout or a porter, it gets its darker colour from roasted and dark malted barley, which also deepens the flavours a bit. It’s rich, hoppy and a bit sweet but still light on its feet.
Pours a pale yellow with a medium-sized soapy white head. Belgian yeast character really stands out with some banana bread, clove, coriander, and nutmeg in there as well.
The Brusseleir beer is brewed at the La Senne brewery and delivered worldwide. Pours black, medium beige head and nice lacing. Standard aroma of roasted malts and fruity hops. Standard taste of roasted malts, lemon and fruity hops, booze well hidden. Crescendo of herbal bitterness. Standard body, medium carbonation, bitter finish.
Liefmans Goudenband is one of the most distinctive dark beers in the world. Originally called IJzerenband (Iron Band) – a reference to the iron bands around the beer barrels – the bottle gained its champagne cork when it was renamed Liefmans Goudenband (Gold Band). Made in open vats with beer of mixed fermentation, it is left to mature for four to 12 months in the cellar. Mature beer is then fortified with younger beer, so the fermentation process starts up again.
