For the grand revelation of Elevator Brewing Company’s Professor of Hearty Drinking (PHD) program, Brewer Mark Beery was charged with creating a curriculum of 12 beers – one for each month of 2010.
His Belgian Strong Dark Ale is one hell of an introduction.
Dark in color with a fruity complexity, this assertive ale has a low hop bitterness and aroma. Roasted malt and an overall creamy character disguise a deceptive kick, featuring 9% ABV and 24 IBU.
“We don’t do any Belgian beers,” Beery explained when asked about his inspiration. “The last one was a trippel two years ago, and everybody loved it. I just wanted to do something Belgian and dark, trying to find new stuff that hasn’t been done.”
Beery’s Belgian Strong Dark Ale was concocted on a 3.5-hectoliter brewing system at the Elevator Restaurant, and is available exclusively on draft there. This single batch release will only last for a limited time.
