LeFort

◎ Aussehen

Deep reddish-brown colour with excellent clarity, revealing the balance of pale and roasted barley malts at work. The head forms with moderate density and clings to the glass with fine, persistent lacing. Carbonation is evident but restrained, appropriate to the beer's substantial strength.

◌ Aroma

The nose leads decisively with roasted malt character—earthy and slightly smoky without harshness. Beneath this foundation lies soft fruit from the top-fermenting yeast, reminiscent of plum and dried stone fruit, complemented by subtle chocolate and caramel undertones. The overall impression is balanced and inviting rather than aggressive.

◐ Geschmack

Entry is smooth and slightly sweet, with chocolate and caramel flavours building quickly across the palate. The yeast-derived plum character emerges in the mid-palate, intertwining with toasted malt depth. Bitterness is low and restrained (18 IBU), allowing the malt sweetness and fruit to carry the palate without sharp edges, while the 10% ABV remains seamlessly integrated.

◑ Abgang

The finish is moderately long and soft, lingering with chocolate and subtle roast notes. A slight warming from the alcohol presence completes the arc without any harshness or drying sensation.

Serviertemperatur 9–12°C für das beste Geschmacks- und Aromaprofil.

Das breite Mundstück und der schwere Fuß fördern die Schaumbildung und leiten reiche Aromatik zur Nase. Traditionell für belgische Starkbiere.
