Double Chili Lakrids Ale

◎ Appearance

Deep amber to chestnut brown with a hazy, unfiltered character that catches light in the glass. A substantial cream-colored head forms and clings to the sides with visible lacing. Gentle carbonation rises through the body without aggressive bubbling.

◌ Aroma

The nose opens with prominent licorice and anise notes that mingle with the warm spice of chili—a bold but cohesive combination. Underneath lies a Belgian yeast signature with subtle caramel and dark stone fruit undertones. The aromatic profile balances the adjuncts with gentle herbal hemp notes from the noble hops.

◐ Taste

The palate enters with pronounced spice and licorice hitting first, then settling into a malty, rich middle dominated by caramel sweetness and the warmth of the Belgian base. The chili presence persists without harshness, while a gentle 26 IBU bitterness provides structure without overshadowing the complex flavors. The mouthfeel remains smooth and full-bodied throughout.

◑ Finish

The finish is moderately long, with licorice and subtle chili warmth fading gradually into a dry, yeasty fade. A lingering sweetness and herbal character remain on the palate.
