Elegast
A copper-coloured, heavy Belgian-style abbey beer with a full, grainy nose, a bittersweet taste of grain and caramel, and a pleasant alcoholic warmth at 10 %. Elegast is named for a knight on a black horse, a folk hero with little time for the rich class, whose rough exterior hides gentle traits. Naeckte Brouwers, Amstelveen.
Tasting Notes
AI-generated sensory profile for Elegast
Serve at 12–14°C. This is a contemplative beer — warmth unlocks the dark fruit, caramel and complex malt.
The wide mouth and heavy base promote head formation and channel rich aromatics toward the nose. Traditional for Belgian strong ales.
Built for cellaring. Age 2–5 years for deeper complexity. Store upright at 12–16°C.
