hopIQ found 10 beers with the same roasted and chocolate character as Noir de Dottignies. Noir de Dottignies is the darkest beer in the De Ranke range, a strong, top-fermented brown ale built on seven malts, among them chocolate and dark-roasted grades. Here the hops serve balance rather than aroma. It pours deep chestnut to ruby under a thick beige head. The nose brings bread dough, caramel, figs, plums and dates with cocoa and a light coffee edge. The palate turns to dark chocolate, toffee and roast, with a hint of liquorice and a firm, dry bitterness that keeps the sweetness in check. Ranked by flavour match rather than popularity.
