Beers similar to Noir de Dottignies

Brouwerij De Ranke

Belgian Dark Strong Ale·Belgium·8.5% ABV·One of 11 Belgian Dark Strong Ales in hopIQ·

hopIQ found 10 beers that share Noir de Dottignies's chocolate and caramel character. 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.
