Brussels style black ale is a newly rediscovered Belgian ale that has roots traced to the sixteenth century. Black ales are not believed to be descended from porters and stouts and our Black agrees with this sentiment.

Our Black is not intended to exhibit the profound roastiness found in many contemporary examples of very dark ale. Brugge Black reminds the drinker more of the chocolate side of dark malts, with hints of coffee and orange, while leaving the bitter astringency behind.

Barbecue night? Brugge Black is the perfect compliment to a sizzling steak or chops.
