L'Una Rossa if you want brightness and restraint, A Night in Brussels if you want depth and warming richness.
L'Una Rossa sits lighter on the palate despite its 7% ABV, letting Belgian yeast character breathe without heaviness. A Night in Brussels leans into the dubbel's dark fruit sweetness and fuller body—it's the beer that lingers. Both respect the Belgian tradition but take different approaches to it.

L'Una Rossa
L'Una Rossa opens with a crisp, almost cider-like snap from the Belgian yeast, then unfolds into subtle stone fruit and a hint of pepper. The amber color promises more body than it delivers, which is actually its strength—you get complexity without feeling weighed down. The 25 IBUs are barely there, which keeps the focus on that clean, slightly spicy finish. It's the kind of beer that tastes lighter than it drinks.
Three Taverns A Night in Brussels
A Night in Brussels hits differently—dark cherry and plum notes arrive first, backed by a soft, almost velvety malt sweetness that suggests caramel without being cloying. The extra 1.5% ABV shows itself in a warmer, slightly boozy undertone that adds texture. Even though the IBU count is similar to L'Una Rossa, you barely notice the bitterness because the dark fruit and malt are doing all the talking. This one's built for sipping, not rushing.
