Lucifer Black Belgian Ale

Lucifer Black. Belgian Ale. 


8.5 % ABV. Brewery Het Anker, Mechelen, Belgium. 

Dark brown color, completely opaque, slim white head atop. 

In the nose: sweet and fruity. Cocoa and cola. Raisins and plums. Very nice. 

In the mouth: Soft and smooth from the start, with dark fruits dominating the flavor. Slightly rich, deeply malty, with a raft of pleasant flavors aswim on the palate. Softly spicy, bits of pepper. Medium bodied, not quite full, but drink down smooth and full of flavor. Tastes like a dubbed, or is it a strong Belgian brown ale? Belgian Strong Dark Ale says BeerAdvocate.com. So says Untappd. I was going to check their website for a final opinion, but this wasn't listed and it was all in Flemish, or Dutch, or something. 

I call it tasty as heck, and recommend it to one and all. Only $10.99 a 4-pack, what a deal. Just delicious. 

Belgian Strong Ale that pours deep, dark brown with a beige head. Darkly roasted, rich malts produce an aroma and taste offering notes of chocolate, toasted bread, and dark fruit. The finish is smooth, dry, and warming.
